I don't know if it was mentioned bu Rsync is an excellent tool for backing up or cloning a drive. For windows there's cwrsync https://www.itefix.net/cwrsync
Ubuntu 24.04 (beta)- Liquorix Kernel (latency 1.15ms) - Pipewire & Wireplumber - bitwig - yabridge (dune, spire, pigments, valhalla)- CLAP - Vital - U-He - TAL - OSIRUS - Surge XT - discoDSP - Audio Damage

I used the Free Edition. I tested it first by imaging it to the new drive and it booted. So I created the RAID 1 array and imaged to that. I made sure the Windows installation had the RAID drivers beforehand.
I kinda want to buy the standard version since they made it so easy for me. I'll probably do it for the incremental backup though I do like the differential for the speed of restoration and storage is cheap.
It's really nice. You can boot a backup image in a virtual machine and pull files from it. Can't recommend it enough.

I use the free AOMEI to clone my Windows 10 spinners and SSD from the CD drive.nIGhT-SoN wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2016 5:45 pm Anyone tried AOMEI Backupper Standard? It's free I'm using it but didn't get to the point of restoring the image. I got it at Gizmo's Freeware recommendation. Here are some reviews of different free drive cloning software: http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-fr ... ftware.htm
Very happy with it. Tested it an the cloned drive booted! https://www.aomeitech.com/freeware.html
Also like the free Mini Tool Partition Wizard. Versions 9 and 10 and may have used V11. It starts the clone from with-in Windows and it restarts and clones from the CD rom. Tested it an the cloned drive booted! https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-pa ... nager.html.

Lately I have been using AOMEI from a bootable CD but can clone the C drive from within Windows after a reboot.

I also use Mini Tool Partition Manager

Both have free versions which I use.

Rapid delta cloning and restore are features included only in commercial Macrium Reflect licenses. (And totally worth the money, imo )Pictus wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 5:29 amA good reason to use Macrium is because it is SSD friendly with TRIM and Rapid Delta Restore.

My computer died, it just makes a beep sound when i switch it on. I assume i'm too late to restore it. I thought i'll just put this drive as a second drive to another computer later and then i can restore my Reason songs. What do you say, knowledgable people?

The number and length of the beeps you hear when you try to boot the computer is the BIOS telling you what's wrong. As long as it's making beeps at all, it can be fixed fairly easily.Spring Goose wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 3:09 pm My computer died, it just makes a beep sound when i switch it on.

That said, if you move this drive to another computer, you'll be able to copy your Reason files to the other hard drive, without using a backup program. This hard drive will just appear as another drive in the other computer. From there, you can find your files (wherever you keep them on the drive) and copy them to the new drive.

No problem! If you'd like to try to boot your computer, just do a search for "dell bios beep codes" or "hp bios beep codes" or whichever manufacturer made your computer. You'll then find out what to do to fix the computer. It's probably just a RAM or video card issue, and those are usually easily fixed. Good luck!Spring Goose wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:04 pmThankyou very much, sir!planetearth wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 8:53 pmThe number and length of the beeps you hear when you try to boot the computer is the BIOS telling you what's wrong.

It's just a cheap refurbished Dell. It's my old computer, so i don't know what i'd like to do with it. I've had a couple of years out of it which doesn't seem so unreasonable at the price.planetearth wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:15 pmNo problem!

I'm happy with Macrium Reflect. Since I'm only using it for manual backups, it's annoying that it leaves a background service that always runs. It can be manually disabled in between runs, using the service manager, but Reflect always turns it back on and sets it for automatic start, as soon as you run a backup. Maybe not a big deal for most folks, but I prefer saving ALL my cpu cycles

+1 for Macrium Reflect. I use it to clone client drives, and it's very low on the CPU cycles. And unlike Acronis' crap, it doesn't load half a dozen services in the background on every boot when you're only going to use it once!
