With images, you can greatly reduce the size of your backup because page files and other unnecessary things are not backed up, and you can make "incremental" backups after the first full one that only include changes from the original, so they are quick to make and thus more likely to be recent. A clone would be an identical drive set up identically. Just FYI: What you want is not a "clone" but an image or full backup.
#Pcclone ex lite windows 10 driver#
My questions are can this be done, can it be done with my docking station (or would I need a specific driver perhaps) and can it be done freely with software I can find on the internet. The problem I have is that is seems like a mine-field in terms of software, do's and don'ts, can and cant's and each time I try do this I get bogged down in reading hundreds of different and contradicting posts, and give up. Which incidentally has done in the past and why I'm trying to be pro-active now. What I really want it to do is take an image of the whole operating system and data and transplant it onto the USB hard drive so that if I get a problem with my laptop, I can just transfer it all back on to it, or a new hard drive I've put in it if it happens to die.
I have actually not really used it seriously because when I realised the software it came with (PC clone EX Lite) does not really clone, it only has a facility to back up user specified data, I was somewhat disappointed and gave up. I wonder if any one can help with my scenario regarding backing up / imaging and the relevant software.to explain, I bought a one touch backup system a few years ago so I could back up my laptop data onto a seperate hard drive.
