You can indeed clone with an external hard drive. This, at least gives us a simpler way to get things back, easier than searching through Dropbox deletions. My fear is always that one of our computers will get a virus and wipe out everybody elses. That's kind of what you were describing in your suggestion.

Just as an FYI, I use Laplink every day to copy to alternating Portable Hard Drives the complete Dropbox Directory, just in case. If I clone one, and one of the others gets a bad HD, can I clone that back-up to the other unit with a new hard drive, or is Microsoft preventing that? We have a bunch of similar laptops, all Dells. I'll just ask one more question and then not bother you again. I guess since all of the other computers we use are Win7, my best bet is to just Clone one of the other computers, all laptops, using the special cable arrangement to do that. There are a some programs on the XP Drive that are just too much trouble to move. What I wanted to do was Clone the XP to the Portable HD, and Clone the Win7 to the second Internal Hard Drive. Dropbox, which links our computers across 3 locations, no longer works with WinXP.

Essentially that is what I have now, except that I had to upgrade the one drive to Win7 and leave the other with WinXP. I clone the Source Drive to the Second Internal Drive and if some disaster happens to my Source Drive, I am covered. I think what you are telling me is that the only way I can really do what I want is with an Internal Hard Drive. When using ATIH to Recover your system, it will recover your complete Windows OS to a bare metal disk drive without the need to reinstall the Windows OS and all your programs and data etc. Tools like Laplink are great for copying files and folders but cannot be used to copy the actual Windows OS unless you have a product with the same capabilities of Acronis True Image. The Acronis Rescue Media is the primary means by which you can recover your system in the event of any problem that prevents you booting into the Windows OS system - the rescue media provides a totally standalone environment (based on the Linux OS) from which to perform the recovery back to a new (totally blank) or existing disk drive. The key advantage of using backups is that you can store multiple backup files on your storage drive providing it is of a sufficient capacity.

This is mainly used when you want to replace the source drive with a new one, or to upgrade from a 'spinning' HDD to a solid-state SSD drive etc.īackup images are used more to protect your data on your existing drives and keep these backups updated on a regular schedule - these are written into a container file (akin to a zip type file) which is then stored like any other file on your backup destination drive. Asj, there is much confusion over the terminology that gets used with this and other similar products, so I would recommend taking a read of KB document: 1540: Difference between Backup and Disk Clone as this will help to clarify the difference between the use of cloning and making backup images.Ĭloning, in a nutshell, is used only to create a duplicate copy of an entire disk drive, including all partitions, to a second disk drive of a similar size.
