StingRayZ Posted June 16, 2008 CID Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi all been awhile since I have posted on here (do alot of lurking though). I have a hard drive that is a backup drive that is an image of my C:, I have tested it to boot up and all works ok. What program or method would be best to be able to make incremental backups to it including new software that I have installed or anything that has been added to my main C: ? I have made the image so if something fails (windows ) on my main C: drive I can just swap them out and remake the image (obviously) but my backup image is way out of date. Thanks in advance.

Roco Posted June 16, 2008 CID Share Posted June 16, 2008 good question StingRayZ , what OS are you running ? , I use ASR in windows XP .pro ,and do a ASR (auto system recovery ) to a second hard drive once a month, it works well , but leaves me a possible month adrift , never done a incremental back up , so a good topic , and I wiil be very interested in the replies , this surely must be a #1 for all puter users , bur rarely gets a mention on the forum ?

StingRayZ Posted June 16, 2008 Author CID Share Posted June 16, 2008 Oh yea forgot, running xp pro. I used drive image xml to create it but since I did a drive to drive image I can not do an incremental backup since I did not use xml format to backup. Yes it will be interested to hear what others do. I don't like backing up to a proprietary format but rather backup the same as copying and pasting a file.
