Guys, Gals, did I read an implied question somewhere? I've been gone awhile, quickly re-read this thread tonight, and I'm wondering if the following was also being asked: Can a backup of a 32-bit system be used to rejuvenate a 64-bit system? Can a backup of a 64-bit system be used to rejuvenate a 32-bit system? If I'm totally incorrect, advise, thanks! :)
Thanks SIW2, your answer clearly indicates what I thought I understood is correct. Replace, not rejuvenate, is the key word.
Is it considered good practice to have the OS perform an image backup of itself, ie C: drive plus the hidden ones? Or have it attached to another system and let the other do a backup?
I remember reading some backup operations need to be performed in DOS. But that appears not to be the case with Macrium. Any comments?
Many thanks and best regards,
Hi goopy,
I don't recommend letting Windows create Restore Points or System Images. When I've needed them, they've failed on more than one occasion. External Hard Drive for backups!
No backups don't need to be done from DOS. AOMEI Backupper Free and Macrium Reflect Free run from within windows or your can create recovery media, either USB Flash or CD/DVD.
