With       TI you can even set it up to Turn off the computer when completed.              HG>I suppose you don't make a daily Clone or Image. Neither do I, hi.              Over the years I have used both Cloning and Images as backups starting       with the old PowerQuests Drive Image. Stayed with them for a while after       Norton bought them out. For many years now I have been using, Although       not regularly, Acronis True Image. I currently have the 2013 Version.       For some years I have perfered to do an Image because having multipule       computers I could store all the images on single backup drive. Lately       I have been doing clones because I have enough spare drives but after       that article may go back to doing images again.       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom strikes agaoin        * Origin: Check Out Doc's QWK Mail Via Web BBS > DocsPlace.org (1:123/140)    |
