Reddit mentions: The best backup & recovery software

I used Data Rescue 3 a few months ago to recover a lot of important files from my crashed hard drive. It was super time consuming… but when your data is gone, getting anything back is good. Data Rescue 4 just came out as well… I'd imagine they've only improved it.

Hi,

clone means copying 1 hdd/ssd to another hdd/ssd one to one. this means, all data is identical (if size is different of the discs then it's proportionally identical or you just have some space unallocated). you usually use cloning when you want to replace your current hdd with an ssd, faulty sectors on old one or simply because you want a new one. This is very useful for disc with the OS installed on it.

The annoying part of it with cloning to an external hdd is, you either can't use the rest of the space on the disc (depends on how cloning is configured) and your pc shows all the partitions of the external hdd which can be confusing.

I recommend using a backup tool like Acronis which does the following:

You can create either one or multiple backup tasks. It creates a backup-file where all of your data is stored (not just files, also MBR, settings, OS, files etc.). The best part is, you can use that backup file to restore a new hdd/ssd and boot to your OS. You can even use your backup-file to restore on a completely different machine (works about 80% in my experience).

Acronis is also very neat if you need a file from a past time. You can simply click in your backup and locate the file, copy it to your running machine and done. No other hardware or software needed.

Hope this helps.

edit: Acronis is not free. It costs $35. You can have a look at the wiki which is under construction. check this thread

Actully HIPAA can have remote Backups as long as the Back up is encrypted. but that's beyond the point. You should look into whole disk back up software. I use Acronis True Image because its cheap and works.. I back up to a local Drive but there are options to do remote backups.

$100 ?

On Amazon you can buy ten windows 7 copies for that money.

$10 Keyboard , $10 Mouse , $27 Controller - all this is as pricey as a year of online gaming on Playstation - Monitor price = TV price

You can probably fix this for < $20. Just order the replacement glass on eBay/Amazon and use an xacto knife + suction cup to remove the broken glass.


YOU DONT NEED TO DO ANY DISASSEMBLY! You can simply pull off the old glass, remove the protective backing on the new piece and slap the new one in place.
