Just curious -- when was the last time you did a complete recovery of the Drive to test, using Acronis -- As in blank empty drive and put everything back, complete OS, Programs data etc. ?
About 4 years agoI only have the OS and Software programs as an Acronis backup so restoring is simple. All Data goes one of 3 Optical drives (rotated)
Oh Dear, So no real idea 100% that they are any good ???
Guess it all depends on what's changed on the computer. If its next to nothing then not so bad, but if like my works PC's that change daily, trying to recreate weeks or months of data would be next to impossible.
Worst case with mine I'd lose a days worth. The full backups get tested every Two weeks Via ViBoot, if they boot from them, they will work fine on a reinstall.
Then what ever data has changed gets put back Via onedrive or another backup that happens automatically.Just had a call from a long time customer in a panic, sounds like their NAS drive spat the dummy, just as well that was backing up automatically live to google drive, worst case they have lost about 10 minutes of work.
Upgrades = Old bugs replaced with new Bugs.
