I just now saw this about cleaner. I have been using it rifle-wise, not shotgun-wise, for years. . I only clean the cache files from each browser. I have a few check boxes clicked - If interested can give you the few check boxes I use.

I just now logged in, and saw this, I forgot which thread to mark :)

I found it. Will use it whenever I can, thanks all! :)

I quote a snippet from one of your earlier posts: Click on Backup in the top menu. There you can select those settings by choosing EDIT. It gives you three options, Direct Write, Use system cache, or auto where it will check the fastest method and use that method. I must not be reading my MR...

I forgot, where do I set MR8 for Direct Write? I have sporadic glitches that kinda sorta make backups interesting.

How do I prevent my W10 from being upgraded by MS to W11? How do I prevent my Windows 10 21H1 19043,1288 from being upgraded by Microsoft to Windows 11? I have that option paused for a few days - for now. I do not want to prevent Windows Updates for Windows 10. I just do not want my Windows 10...

"I do have two NAS drives, using the drive mirror Raid (which does exact copy on two drives,)" What happens if you get hit with Ransomware?

"Finally getting back on topic since everyone and their mother wants to make this about backups...." The only backups my mom knows about are loo backups.

"Today, the experience under Windows 11 was the exception, and thus my post. I'm asking those who "actually use the program" what their experience is with System Restore under Windows 11." I have been using only Windows 7, however, I can tell you that my experiences with SRPs and boot with last...

Grab a couple of ext usb HDDs, MR or Aomei or EaseUS or whatever, make full images of your OS and data partitions before troubles strike. For most if not all of us, it is simply a matter of when, not if.

"However, when it comes to image backups, paranoia is a healthy state of mind, of course." @cereberus Allow me to modify your otherwise excellent comment: "However, when it comes to image backups, duplication is a healthy state of mind, of course." Let me partially quote myself from another...

Half price, $80, would that be upgrade, correct? If so, you are right, no rollback to MR
