If you wish to clone..then by all means clone. I will tell you that updating an image is about the easiest thing in the world to do. Restoring a new hard drive from that image is also easy. I do not get all the debate. In my mind imaging is the only way to go for a laptop and Cloning will work well for a desktop with a second internal hard drive installed. Have fun you all. |
I can't help but agree with you. I just wanted to know if I am in fact protected now in light of all this new info.
I have an ext. HD. I have cloned my PC (with only one internal HD) to this ext. USB HD.
The 66,000 dollar question? Anyone jump in, please.
AM I PROTECTED IN CASE OF A HD FAILURE IN MY PC?
YES or
NO
ALL MY SPECS INCLUDING THE HARD DRIVES ARE LISTED BELOW IN MY SIGNATURE!
