strategy to maintain Macrium Reflect File/Folder Backup access
Greetings.
My laptop is currently running Vista Home Premium (x32) and I'm using Macrium Reflect Free for full backups to an external HD. This is my sole computer. I am trying to get my "ducks in a row" before making the leap to installing both a new HD (ssd) and a new OS, Windows 7 Prof. (x64). Yeah, finally!
My biggest concern is in potentially losing access to my full disk images on the the external HD especially with the new OS being 64bit cpu architecture. Perhaps this is a non issue? I've read everything I can find (including Macrium's forum, where MR Free users can't post). I have almost 450GB of data I'll want to maintain access to and of course the SSD is a fraction of that size.
Any suggestions for alternate strategies, as in using a file/folder backup (synching?) program would be welcome. The least I need to know is that I'll have accessible data, even if not the most elegant solution.
Thanks,
Karen
