I would like to create a backup of my HDD from my laptop which I can then save on an external hard drive, if my laptop breaks at some point, I can install a new hard drive and the old data from the external hard drive back to the new Internal can clone.
Of course, all programs, such as memory levels should be cloned with.
Is there any freeware?
Is already integrated in Windows since version 7.
Called "Backup and Restore"
And contrary to the general Rumunkerei - because of that is good for nüscht - I can't report any negative.
The advantage of this solution is that once you have set it up properly, you will not have to worry about anything.
The only thing is that once a week, the external hard drive is infected once. The rest is Windows alone.
A "system image file" can also be easily created with Windows on-board resources:
Right-click on the Windows icon
Click on "Update and Security"
On "fuse" kilk
Click "Switch to Backup and Restore (Windows 7)"
and then click on "Create a system image"
Of course, the backup plate should be about the same size as your original plate, and I'm assuming that you have WIN 10.
Here is also the possibility to play back this image file. Also, the recording and playback should be controlled by the same software as they are not compatible with each other.
There's a lot.
But the evil awakening comes when you play it. If you mirror your operating system and all the drivers byte by byte, then you play the new notebook, - - - the drivers of the old hardware on it. Nothing good.
If you buy yourself a new notebook, you have to set up the operating system again.
I made backup with it. You can save your data with it, Freeware, great configurable. Donation is requested.
