I'm talking about the one that comes with Windows 7. I've had nothing but trouble with it from day one. I want a system image. I also want (but don't absolutely need) it to back of files separately, so I don't have to do a full system restore if I lose one thing.
It does that, but time and space are the issue. Even though I only have about 115GB of used space on my comp, it says my 250GB external drive is not large enough. I can set it up to do a system image only, and it fits. But damn thing takes HOURS to back up, and it barely compresses it at all.
Does anyone know any tricks for this? Or better yet, can you recommend a free backup program that will do an image and also back up files separately from the image?
