  4. Need to replace my backup software solution

    I was just looking at Macrium, which I do own, for drive management purposes and when setting up my backup it appeared to me that Macrium creates a "backup set". I haven't run this backup test yet, but I'm wondering if you can use Windows Explorer to see individual files in the set? I wouldn't...

  5. Need to replace my backup software solution

    I got notice from the vendor (Novastor) of my backup software that the price is going from $85 a year to $150. A bit steep for me. They're adding cloud storage, which is something I don't need. My need is simple... I do differential copying of changed files from my Synology NAS to stand alone...

  6. What Start Menu replacement software do you use?

    Years ago Windows had a feature that allowed you to place a shortcuts tool bar on the desktop that would slide in and out as needed. You could put all your shortcuts in it and keep a clean desktop. In Microsoft's way, they removed that feature. I found True Launch Bar, a product that provides...

  7. New Outlook forces sync to Microsoft Cloud when adding IMAP account

    I subscribe to "Ask Woody" which is a Windows oriented web site and just this week one of the authors, Peter Deegan, had an article about the Outlook (new). I'm pasting in an excerpt of his article. This article is for paid subscribers so I can't link to it for you or I would have. " It’s not...

  11. Solved What partitions do I really need on my boot drive?

    I'm running Windows 11 Pro 22H2. 22621.1928. Over time I've migrated my boot drive from HDDs to SSD. Using both Macrium and Aomei to do the migrations. I've always been able to rely on either product to get me where I need to go without really knowing what's what. Today I opened Aomei and...

  12. Best NAS RAID Mode level?

    @kuyenmotdivad The original poster asked about Synology's SHR Raid. SHR is different from Classic Raid which all of the other posters have addressed. It is not similar to Raid 1 but rather is, according to Synology's site, is based around a Linux Raid Management system. I have a DS1019 with...

  14. Solved Drive cloning - Aomei or Macrium - my experience

    Yesterday I had a challenging experience upgrading my PC's main boot drive. I had a great 1tb Corsair Force MP600 Gen4 M.2 2280 ssd as my boot drive, but I read about the WD_BLACK 1TB SN850X NVMe SSD Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280 with almost twice the through put. So on a lark I bought one. Some...

    Poll on Backup software

    I use NovaBACKUP. I use it across our two laptops and two desktops. I have a different philosophy for backups than most people I see in the forums. If my PC tanks I just format it and do a clean install. I've been doing this since the early 1980s and in almost 40 years I've tried and never...
