  • Image backup for Windows11?

    From Peter Jason@3:633/10 to All on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 07:52:27
    Is this possible using Windows11? I want something like Macrium.

    Plenty of backup apps can do that on an Win11 system

    I've tried the one built into Windows; seems to work.
    But I'll seek others.

    The "Home" Macrium is so complex as to require joining two or more
    extensions requiring passwords etc. Beyond comprehension!

    I use an old version of Acronis True Image which
    boots a linux removable drive on USB or CD and
    that works fine and has a decent UI. Main downside
    of it is that the drive letters can change with multi
    disk setups but thats not really a problem, you
    just have to be careful about that

    I have been using a very-old free home-type Macrium that still works,
    but I'm worried it might be discontinued soon. I use just an external
    1TB drive to store backups. I want simple! simple! simple!
