Comments: 5. Hello from Texas, U. I hope I've explained myself fully. My thanks for ANY assistance!! Steve Smith. Posts: Incremental backup, compression, image splitting, and email notification are also supportable. Free download it to have a try.

Step 1. Select File Backup in Backup tab. Step 2. Click Add File or Add Folder to add the files from the partition we need to reformat. Step 3. We can select another location as the destination path here, and then click Start Backup. Options: encrypt, compress or split backup images by clicking this option.

It saves times when it avoids some potential backup risk, like backup files fails. AOMEI Backupper could be helpful when we try to clone disk to another hard drive, create bootable rescue media in particular when our computer fails to boot. Some suggestions to help ease into this habit: You can drag or copy 5gb for free into OneDrive app to store in the cloud where they are safe from fire and theft.

Besides your files you should back up a System Image to use in place of reinstall in 20 minutes. There is an easy way to mount the System Image to extract files if needed.

Some prefer to move their User folders off of C to make the image smaller and so they stay current if you need to re-image C. This way if Windows ever becomes irreparable you can restore C in 20 minutes from recovery media, and your files will be current and safe in their own separate partition.

If they are left on C they will be dated from when the image was taken. I hope this helps.
