Some folks don’t read any tutorial and expect everything to go flawlessly, this is simply wrong. READ all the factsheets and tutorials you can get your hands on. *Keep your images SIMPLE until you are WELL familiar with how the app works. *That little voice in your head is NEVER going to go away until you’ve created and restored a few images, especially after a serious crash. (which you have done)īoth Linux and Windows PE Macrium boot disks should be created, some systems don’t fully work well with only the Linux. *Ensure that your boot disk is fully capable of booting and recognizing an external drive or other internal drives. *Ensure that you know your BIOS’s boot settings first and foremost. You will also need hard copied backups of all your important data to DVD or external drive. Image based backups are an excellent start, especially if you haven’t done them before, but they are NOT the only forms of backup you should be doing. Would appreciate any guidance you could give me, and thanks. The total hard drive capacity is 297.3 GB So I appeal to you for help! How can I test the viability of a system image without potentially jeopardizing the integrity of my existing data? For what it’s worth: But a rasping, metallic inner voice tells me that if something goes wrong, I could screw myself six ways from Sunday.
I know that after the backup, I’ll want to test the image for usability. It boots fine, and is able to access my external backup drive.
Having installed Macrium Reflect Professional v, I’ve gotten as far as making a rescue disc. I’ll be asking remedial questions, and hope you’ll bear with me. It’s my one and only computer.Īlthough I’ve been computing (in my way) since Win 95, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not very savvy about what goes on under the hood. I’m running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on a Dell Precision M4700 laptop.
