Acronis Hard Drive Cloning and Backup

2019-01-21 Just use AOMEI and forget it.

Edit: I currently use Macrium but as yet can not get the recovery working on YUMI.
Edit: I use Easeus To Do Backup for imaging the systems now. Add the boot ISO to YUMI usb for recovery or cloning systems.

Acronis is free if you have one Seagate or WD drive in your system. Win7 makes a workable image of your system but if you don't have a bootable Win7 disk or running XP, Acronis can come in handy. Here are the links to get the free versions. I don't know if the bootable disk you make checks for disk brand to work. I'm guessing only the original install check for the disks.

I may want to say something about it. Nothing replaces it. Text Extraction No default hotkey is set up. Go to the hotkey section and add OCR...
