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.
