How To never Worry About Malware Again!

I've used Acronis and Redo.....Both are great,but Redo hasn't failed as of yet(taps on wood)
Macrium seems interesting.I will certainly give a try.

Backups and Images save lives and time....and my line of work(Sys.Admin),it's quite crucial.

My choice is Macrium. Macrium has tons of videos on the Web and the program is very user friendly.
I really like the mount image feature. You can use that to copy and paste or drag and drop. Very nice and helpful feature

Bro,you have just blown my mind.That is something I always wanted when trying to access data from an image(Aside from locating an exact PC model for my image to work or using VMWare)

Now,I have to download it and add it to my bag of tools.Thank you....O_O

Hi! Just for you @StriderHunterX ! And you are very welcome. Back ups are my specialty. I get all excited when I find someone that wants to pick my brain about back ups. Macrium is awesome, but there are a lot of good programs out there.

Never bothered with backups or restores till a month ago. I was using a program called ViceVersa Pro, but I didn't realise all it did was back up. It couldn't restore. That program would've been ideal if a person is changing hard disks (eg: mirror the system). For a small application, it really packed a punch.

I tried Rollback and it made me feel like a network admin, so I passed. Then I tried Macrium which wouldn't fully dowload the installer before crashing. Then I came across Acronis and all the anti-Acronis comments... lmao, didn't really phase me since I am only looking to backup. I have no care for differential or incremental since I do bugger all on the PC nowadays.

Don't under-estimate the importance of backing up. Coming from a bloke who laughed at anyone who ever mentioned to him to back up, it really does get your goat when you are forced to start from scratch, especially the draiiiiiiiiiiining Windows Updates "from scratch", not to mention the custom-tailored tweaks etc...

Regardless of what application one uses, the fact remains, just like the topic author mentioned... just back it up already, sheesh! Just as important are the directories that one excludes.
