Acronis A lot of the techies that I know also use Acronis. I use Acronis True Image backup software as it does backup everything and is easy to use if a hard drive restore or any individual files need restored. My Passport is a series of portable external hard drives and solid state drives produced by Western Digital.There are currently six series of My Passport drives Essential Edition, Essential SE Edition, Elite Edition, Essential for Mac, Studio Edition and the Essential SE for Mac. I do not use the WD backup program as it's selective (at least the one I have) and does not backup everything. I always have my PC on and Windows running when I connect my external WD drive.
Check the available space on the external drive as you may have to delete some or all of the older backups before you do a new full (all partitions) hard drive backup. For these reasons it was decided to just do a full hard drive backup each night with the full backups it was faster and easier to restore if needed.Īs it has been "a few months" since you did a backup, you definately need to do a full backup to the external drive. However, on the Federal Government Network I used to manage we initiall started out doing a full backup of our file servers on Monday night and then incremental backups each night the rest of the week and found out that (1) it will take longer to recover if needed from the backups and (2) the Incremental backups can get confusing and unless you are very careful it can be done out of order and mess things up. SOME disc backup programs have the capability to do "incremental" backups (backup what has changed since the last backup) but if you use this function you need to do it on a frequent and regular basis.
