Online backup

[Fanatical Meat]

looking to transfer from an old PC to a new PC any low cost online vendors that will do this automatically (I mean where I load some app and it just does everything, not me select what files manually)

Why would you need an online service to do that?

Wife stuff, I want to delete the current ssd and add it to the new machine. She is convinced she has a ton of stuff saved....but she doesn’t
It’s a relationship trap. It is now guaranteed that if I delete that hard drive without a full backup something will be lost and I’ll never hear the end of it.

Current is an internal from an amd machine, this is the ssd.
I now have a refurb Dell with a mechanical hard drive. I’d like to get the files backed up, test it on the mechanical HD, then install the ssd to speed boot times

What do you mean test?

Copy files to ext hdd
Verify files are there and open correctly
Macrum reflect clone dell bootbdrive onto ssd
Disconnect spinner and verify machine boots.
Use windows repair usb if necessary to fix boot sectors if necessary
Done

You don't have any hdd you can use? Macrum reflect is free for the basic version. Just download and install.

You could sign up for backblaze I guess.
