I have multiple computers and wanted an easy way to backup my systems. I decided to try the Clickfree backup C6.
With this I also upgraded my HDD's in the laptop. My plan was to backup with the C6 and re-image to a new drive.
Here's how it went:
I unpacked the C6 and plugged it in- so far so good! It auto started and made my first backup- total 6 hours for 650 GB drive.
Nothing needed to done, it was all automatic. Mind you I was skeptical about it backing up the OS while the OS is running since those files are in use.
I installed my new HDD and rebooted using the USB Clickfree as a boot device...Voila! There it was and I was able to select advanced> re-image, and the wait ensued...
Hours later came the moment of truth- unplug the USB for a reboot.... held my breath AND........
There was windows! There was my desktop, all programs, and even the tabs I last had open in Firefox.
It completely cloned my drive and amazingly reimaged to the new drive, this couldn't be simpler!!!!
I changed a few things and tested a re-backup, within 15 minutes it was done updating,
Conclusion:
The Clickfree C6 is utterly amazing, I can't recommend it ENOUGH! If you want an easy 1 step backup solution without headache.- this is it!!
You may need to change BIOS to boot into USB, but this is simple- also I noticed that I have 3 USB ports, only one of them is the main where the clickfree was detected by BIOS.
If you want to order this- here it is:
