Hi all, I'm new to tom's hardware forums. My reason for joining is due to my PC crashing last Sunday. After a windows update, my PC kept restarting in an endless loop (diagnostics tools, system repair window) I had no choice but to do a fresh installation of windows again.
I learned my lesson when it comes to backing up data, don't over look it, you never know when something wrong will happen. I bought an external hard drive just for that reason.
Now my question is what software/process should I use to maintain a healthy copy of my data/windows? Currently I am creating a system image with windows, but I feel its not the best solution to this. Also how can I clone my drive so if my main drive should crash I can have a spare drive to boot from? (preferably from my external drive)
I just want to be prepared for a situation like this. (This is a worst case scenario for me)
I appreciate any answers.
