I really need to get serious of having an additional boot drive for emergencies when Windows gets corrupted or fails.
Make a bootable ISO of my main hard drive Was a great discussion and amen to needing a clone/copy as Windows over time is risky at best.
My additional questions, in case I missed it in the original thread are:
1. Does the target clone have to be SAME size? Larger?
2. Will a USB slow the clone down either USB 2 or 3?
3. I am planning on installing a SATA 3 SSD, 256gb for the boot drive.
Maybe using a older HHD as the clone. Any issue there?
4. I guest BEST option is the SSD primary boot, and buy another SSD same size for the clone.
5. CASPER, does it allow selective backup/clone of data you want to keep or are you forced to clone the entire disk? I was thinking maybe cloning only the OS, no data, etc.
The time it takes to get Windows rebuilt, all all the programs is huge compared to the time cost of this hardware.
Thanks.
