Solve : Is an ERD or ASR possible without a Floppy or USB?? |
|
Answer» Thank you for TAKING the time to read this post & answer with your best advice!! Here are the factors to keep in mind before responding: 1. Floppy drives are no longer common to a computer. 2. "Recovery Disks" are the normal from companies (Which I find very irritating!) 3. Not everyone has a USB jump drive at their disposal. With that said, I am trying to determine 3 things: 1. Can an ERD or ASR be created without a Floppy Drive and without a USB jump drive? 2. Is there a Freeware program that can help create the ERD/ASR without the Floppy/USB drive? 3. Is there a way to automate the TASK of updating your ERD or ASR so that you will always have a current copy? (I was thinking along the lines of COPYING the necessary files to another HD or emailing the current update to a Gmail account) I have researched the internet but keep finding links only to using Floppy Drives or USB Jump Drives. I also keep finding links regarding ERD Commander 2000 which is expensive & not the solution I can use for friends. Thank you again for your valuable time & appreciated advice!!Why not just buy a copy of Acronis True Image and be done with it for about $30?Thanks GX1_Man for your advice, The reason why is because if I'm helping a friend/relative in setting up their computer for preventing disaster I don't want them to have to buy anything if at all possible. I have a personal copy of HDclone but I can't be passing that around nor do I want everyone to call me up every time they want to update their system. I'm trying to discover if it there is a solution that everyone can use without having to pull more money from their finances. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post. Much appreciated GX1_Man!!!$30 is a small price to pay for software that will do the job Acronis does. I believe that it's worth that price for the piece of mind that it can give. Alan <>< What do you think, Alan? Was that the best $30 you have spent in a while?im going to be buying it for my experiment.I tell you GX1_Man, I can't thank you ENOUGH for your thoughtful advice about Acronis (though don't think there's any cash coming your way ). I now have it backing up all but my server OS's and I feel pretty good and sleep BETTER night Alan <>< |
