Thinking about changing backup program from Norton Ghost but to what??
Hello again everyone. :)
I spent four-five hours yesterday reading in here about backup software.. and I didn't came up whit any solution.. So i thought it's best to ask of your opinion and experiences..... It's a jungle out there.
So what do I need or wish to have. (I'm open to one or two program solution)
* Backup OS ones a month. If OS's crashes or if the HDD dies.
* My personal files on daily basis.
Big + is if it's possible to backup and restore over the network, and i only need one bot disk to all computers
OS i have today.
2 WinXP SP3 (one home laptop and one pro desktop)
3 Win7 SP1 (one home laptop and two Pro desktops)
All five are going to have dual win/linux boot within 6month to a year.
I have used Norton Ghost for about 15years now, and I've never really liked it...
I have looked on the webpages for the following programs.
AOMEI Programs
AOMEI Backupper Standard 4.0.6 Best Free Backup Software for Windows 10, Windows 8.1/8, Windows 7, Vista, XP
Sounds good in reading, but is it?
AOMEI OneKey Recovery. Freeware to Create Recovery Partition on Hard Drive | AOMEI OneKey Recovery Free
Create a factory recovery partition on system disk to backup Operating System.
This function i relay like the sounds of.. To create my own F11 recovery partitions.
AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard. Download Magic Free Partition Manager Software - AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard and Free Partition Manager Software - AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard
hmm.. Okay? Is it really for me?
AOMEI PXE Boot Tool AOMEI Free PXE Network Booting Tool
Can this be something good to use for a recovery situation?
Or this? AOMEI PE Builder 2.0 Create a Bootable Windows PE Disc/CD/DVD/USB with AOMEI PE Builder
Paragon software
Paragon Backup & Recovery Free Paragon Backup & Recovery Free | Paragon Software
Paragon Partition Manager Free Paragon Partition Manager Free | Paragon Software
Paragon Rescue Kit Free Paragon Rescue Kit Free | Paragon Software
None of these sound as advanced as AOMEI products.
Clonezilla Clonezilla - About Does this program work on windows computers
Freefilesync FreeFileSync - Free Data Backup and File Synchronization Software
Sounds good and it works with all my win versions and Linux.
But this is only a file backup, not the entire HDD or?
Macrium reflect7 Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free
Sounds better and more advance than Paragon.
Norton Ghost.. Nopp not again.
So is there more good and advanced programs out there? I would prefer programs i don't have to pay for.. I already spend way too much on IT, so I have to keep costs down a bit.
I also have two servers one win2003 R2 and one win2008 R2.. they also going to get dual boot soon.
For them i use a cloned boot disk for fast replacements and Raid5 for the data disks.
Any suggastions for a good one or two program solution for my five computers??
Thanks for all suggestions in advance. :)
