Macrium Reflect, the best there is
I recently purchased a 2TB Seagate drive with intent to backup my two PCS. Both are running Win7 and the backup failed on both cases.
The one is a 32bit image and I understand that for hard drives 2TB and larger that the Windows utility will fail. However, my primary is a 64bit Win7 image and that failed as well. In both cases I was using the Windows Backup utility.
My question is will Acronis 'True image' work to back up both PCs onto the same 2TB drive? Will I have conflicts with two backups of different types on the same backup drive?
do you really need a system image backup? id rely on the restore partition and getting all his documents synced to a backup or cloud service. i mean, an image is handy if there is a lot of setup to be done when something goes awry but just making sure all his documents/pics are backed up would probably be good enough. i use crashplan for backups and onedrive for syncing
