Software that lets me choose which partitions to clone

[nichos]

Hi,

Is there a clone program for w8 64bit that you can choose which partitions to clone instead of clone the whole HD?

Maybe you will find something here: Free imaging software.

Free Macrium can do that.

Yes, Macrium Reflect can do that.
It´s easy to understand and very reliable.
I have used Macrium Reflect since 2008, and I have not had any problems, I recommend it.

But, why do you link to another forum whs ???
Why not link directly to the software ?

No.
Only confusing.
I thought it was a bit odd linking to another forum instead of linking directly to the software...

Merry christmas and a happy new year !

When creating backups, after selecting what to backup and where to store the backup, on the third window:
click "Advanced" in the lower-left corner
Under "Compresssion", change to "High"
The creation takes a few more minutes but the backup will be smaller...

In the left menu, click "Comment"
Enter some useful info about the backup

Have you made any major changes since the previous backup ?
Like fx. installed a new version of some program / a new program...?
Enter that into comments.
This makes it easy to see the difference compared to other backups when you are going to restore.
When you see the list of backups, put your mouse on each backup and you will see the comments,
making it easier to select the correct one to restore.

Instead if restoring a complete backup you can also extract just parts of it like fx. some folders / files.

Under "Restore", select "Explore Image" and the backup will be mounted, just like an external harddisk,
copy whatever you want from the backup, and then unmount it.

I would think that most people can distinguish between a link to a product's website and a tutorial for the product.

On the other hand when a user asks for a link to a product that is what they probably should get in return.

It would seem that when a member has already written a tutorial on a topic it should be just fine for a link to that information to be included in a response.

However, the foremost purpose for a response on a help forum is to supply an answer to a user's question. In this case I would recommend that the proper post would have been to supply a link directly to the product along with another link to the tutorial with each described for what they are.

Just my opinion...

Am I dealing with the blind here. The link to the free Macrium website is right in the tutorial. Next time you comment you should read first.

I was trying to be helpful but I guess that is not appreciated around here.
