Store repositories locally or on the cloud. NinjaOne Backup EDITOR’S CHOICE A cloud-based backup system that allows block-level disk copies or OS imaging as well as file and application backup strategies.Here is our list of the best disk cloning software: Network administrators also use disk cloning software when setting up multiple identical workstations on client machines.
Restoring from a previously known good backup means you don’t have to re-install the operating system, software, and applications if a disk fails. This can save you time should you come across any system failures by being readily prepared to restore devices quickly.
I started doing it with production citrix servers and freaked out my IT director big time.Planning ahead and using disk cloning software allows you to save the content of your drive to another hard drive, a cloud backup service, a USB stick or other external drive. Doing a live clone back then was pretty radical stuff. VSS was built into Windows 2000, but needed the libraries to run. Paragon was one of the first to start doing this waaaay back in Windows 2000 days. Kudos for Veeam for doing this.Īlso, in regards to the OP mentioning Paragon. So, Veeam free agent is my go to for non profits with servers, etc. Macrium won't install on windows server OS without a serious license fee. The free version runs on Server OSS with no up charge. Not being a Macrium fanboy but its the easiest to use and best feature set. Veeam can be unintuitive when it comes to re constructing partitions. Also, as I said there's no reason to bother with recovery environment cloning with windows for the same reason you don't need to boot with floppies.Īlso, having used Veeam quit a bit and Macrium Reflect quite a bit I can say with full authority Macrium is easier to use for beginners.
Veeam agents use (cymbal crash) shadow copy. I'd take a backup of the machine with Veeam Agent for Windows Free (Good to have anyway), then try to perform a restore using the Recovery Media USB created onto the new drive, might have to make sure the drivers for the new drive are available on the USB like how we have to F6 RAID controllers.
