Hi,
In regards to the Free version.. and not being able to restore to a different device..
Any ideas on how true to the identical a new device needs to be?
ie.. god forbid my HD crashes.. k... I was smart and made a Macrium backup w/ the free version.. lets say it was from a WD 500gb disk... ok.. my HD is dead.. so what are my options in regards to using the backup i made?... I need to buy a new disk correct?.. to use the free version and restore it back... question is.. do i just need to match the Size.. ie a Seagate 500gb would work?.. or do i need the exact precise to the letter WD drive i orignally made the image from?
or in other words.. is the free version backup only really worth doing.. w/ the assumption that your HD wont fail?... the pro seemed spendy for backup software.. so not sure if im goona snag it at this time..
thanks much..
