![]() Since WHS is no longer in production and my server machine recently died I have been searching for alternative back up strategies. I only needed to recover one laptop and doing so was quick and easy. It came with a very nice feature that would automatically back up the clients to the server and I backed up the server with iDrive. I have used Windows Home Server for several years. Why is it a discussion involving Windows always devolves into MS bashing? Why do Linux fan boys have to act like obnoxious vegans who have to constant chide other people with their non-sense? This could have been a useful discussion about backup strategies for Windows and backup strategies for home PCs in general. Which is sort of the whole point of a backup, right? Why? The new 120 GB disk is too small. ![]() I can't restore the original system image to it though. ![]() Huh? What's wrong with it? Is my new drive bad? I try the Windows install disk and it loads Windows on the new disk no problem. The Windows "Repair Disk" says no suitable disk found. No problem got a backup A new 120 GB SSD is installed. Now, let's just imagine that my drive fails. I tested it and was able to restore just fine. Since I only installed three drivers and no 3rd party software, the entire backup fits on a single DVD with space left over. The entire Windows folder is 11 GB, and of course there are the usual hidden folder and partition that don't amount to a hill of beans. I've been messing around with the Windows 7 built in backup utility all morning.
