My current server has been running now for nearly ONE YEAR without a re-boot. The only time my Linux server gets re-booted is if I'm adding certain bits of new hardware (not often). With all the various W10 builds at the moment I find it easier to run a backup schedule from the Linux server (CRONTAB) so my whole network just gets backed up daily without me having to bother about it. However on the road it's still useful to have a decent program that can be run from a USB stick / drive so you can restore say a laptop if you have to.
(Before RESTORING ensure you have a restorable image from another system you've tried - I don't think there's any problem but it pays to be safe when testing a new product like this - also backup and restore an image initially that doesn't have critical data (e.g don't start with the OS).ĪOMEI Windows Backup, Cloning, and Recovery SoftwareĪlthough as the the starter of this thread I now actually use my Linux server to backup all my Windows images - the reason for this is that my Linux server is running 24 hrs a day 7 days a week as my primary file / printer / media server and has around 8 TB of free storage on it. I was a long time user of Acronis but it seems to be sliding downhill at the moment - I never realized at how much has been removed from AT2105 even though it has a slightly better interface than ATH2014.Īnyway I suggest if you want a decent FREE backup utility which is far better than FREE Macrium and which runs on Windows as well as a bootable stand alone version I suggest you try it. I might well switch to this one after I've given it a robust trial. AOMEI can use it's own internal locking if backing up while Windows is running.
I've been trying out the FREE version of AOMEI backup - seems to have everything I need including Differentials / incrementals, explore Images, disk / partition / file backup restore / image checking, Linux partitions etc.Ĭan also disable VSS when running on Windows - sometimes I've had problems with things like Macrium with VSS.
