I use the portable editions of Firefox and Thunderbird which I have installed on my C drive. Then for backups I just copy all of my portable apps to a flash drive periodically.

BTW- Are you still using Wax 2.0 to make these vids or do you use something else now?

better? system restore only backs up program settings...so if you're depending on it to restore pictures, documents or music, then your screwed.

if i use this because i am going to inall windows 7 will i back up my anti virous, router information, and all other files or no

Excellent, excellent, instructional video, BUT there are some issues uninstalling this program if you so choose; I chose because it wouldn't backup without reporting errors which I couldn't resolve. It also had a habit of closing down my computer and giving me boot problems - (I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit), Loads on the net re this - enter 'gfi backup uninstall' and check it out before you decide .

I can't use the window backup uption included in window XP due to the 4gig per file limitation with fat32 formated externatl drive. GFI seems to be the solution to my problem since I could split the backup file in multiple 4 gig files. To do so, I want to have more information about the restore option. In case of a virus attack would I be able to format my hard drive and restore my entire computer image if I backed up my entire hard drive previously? Thank you for all your tips!

NintendoMaster66: Hello, sure, if you back up whole harddisk and save it just as an exact image file then you don't need to worry about anything. It's same as freezed mirror image of you :) The most important thing is that this backup can be done only when your system isn't running, so it's mostly standalone program loaded before your main OS starts. In my case I use Clonezilla on CD which is based on Linux and this SW can make backup to many destinations or just via network.

The Acronis can backup the system while it's running. And it makes incremental saves if necessary. You can make a schedule with a daily backup, and only the changes will get into the new images.

And for example if you set a consolidation for two weeks, the hdd space wont be a (too big) problem.

@kazuhirohayubasa
well no its not a video editing software :0 what's the name of it? that's what I want to know

[NintendoMaster]

I have a question. I use Acronis True Image Home 2009 and I back up everything on my hard drive including my OS onto a external hard drive. It also has a recovering thing before my OS starts so I can restore my cloned hard drive. Will this give me my microsoft office, games and everything else back correctly? Please reply! Thanks!

@coolconnuk Do you know how much it compresses it? I have like 30 GB of just videos on my computer. I don't want to have 6 DVDs just holding videos. I'm thinking about getting a large external drive to hold most things.

so okay i have to do a clean install because im gonna get windows 7 ultimate and have vista home premium so if i back my data up using this will i be able to get it back?

[mabynke]

I'll try GFI, it looks like a great program. But I'm just wondering, when I back up my computer using the Vista-backup-tool, can it be restored by the W7-tool?

[SILKYYYYYYYY]

i was wondering after u backup my computer and i format it can i restore it again? sry for the noob question like will the files be back in same place?

[KINGVNOM]

how big are replacement files? could you just back it up on a usb or would you need something a bit bigger like a portable hard drive.

[trollhun]

How about CloneZilla? It's free, and linux based. (can save all kind of systems)

And for drivers, there is DriverMax. It's also free.

[ninhbac]

are all the data saved on your hard drive or is it accessed through the internet?
