I guess my only question then would be (as usual) does it do incremental
cloning? Or at the least, incremental backup?

Are there incrementally cloning free programs ?

Idea is for sure great, but I am not sure
how much it is useful, if to be done on partition level
and not file system level.

If we take into account e.g. defragmentation,
making partition different, even if content remains the same....

XXCopy used to be able to do full incremental clones back in the W98 and
ME days. Then when MS switched to the NTFS file system in XP, it no
longer was able to do so completely (was unable to copy files which were
in use.) So Pixelab came up with XXClone which uses Windows VSS:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Copy

The free version of that program won't do incremental, but the $ware
version of it will.

I have two hard drives in my computer and I don't use RAID (although
this computer has that capability.) I much prefer to use XXCopy to clone
one drive onto another as a backup, but every once in a while I do a
full clone using the freeware version of XXClone.

It would be real nice if there was a freeware cloning program which used
VSS and could do incremental clones. However, that seems to be the holy
grail that programmers hold out on so that you'll pay for their
software. And I can't blame them for that either. Still, I can always
hope...

But it is cloning on FS level, i.e. not what I had in mind.
XXClobe I do not know, but with VSS is possible to make
partition sector cloning.

Well, I am aware there are, but quastion is how much

In fact I had it installed but for some reasons
it did not impressed me so I returned to Macrium.

Either low comression,
Either slow compression speed
either overall lower performace
if differential backups.

Usualy there are some important features missing
in free versions, but for macrium it is not essential.

Depends on what works for you eh!

I do not find the need to perform incremental backups. When I decide to
make a permanant change to my system, I load my last clean image and
make the changes and re-image.

In between that, all of my data files and portable programs with all
their settings are backed up daily to an external HD. When I reload my
last clean image to make new updates, I do so...make the updates and
resync my data and portable files to the new image. No need for
incremental.

Differential and incremental backups are "smart" backups that save time
and disk space by only backing up changed files. But they differ
significantly in how they do it....

If best is alias for

than yes.

For single partitions scenario I fully understand such need.
For dedication system partition such solution can be less efficient.

Runs automatically in the background. Rarely notice it. I do file
backup, and use CVS as well.

There is no such thing as being too paranoid WRT backup.

So if you don't think it is the best, why wouldn't you use what you
determine is the best. There are actually three top programs worthy of
listing as the best in this category. The one with the most features has
usability issues the one with less features doesn't have. If the task is
purely full imaging, Macrium is the best. If you must have incremental
backup, Paragon is the best though beware, sometimes an image doesn't
restore.

This is true. However, if you only use portable programs, a full image when
the system performs a major change is all you need. The portable programs
can take care of themselves with automatic daily backups to an external
drive folder or via SugarSync (or the like.)

Now I have several system images I keep if something goes south or that I
use for testing. One image is a factory fresh image (cleaned up concerning
bundles.) One is the factory image with everything I install on it. And one
running system image.

The problem with just keeping an original system image updated with
incremental backups is the day you realize it has become corrupt.

It is basically the same thing silly. Just how it is managed is

The software restores the incremental files automatically - no effort.

Very wise indeed. I have no need for incremental/differential backups. I
don't use installed software but for a few security tools.

All of my data files are auto-sync'd online and external HD. All of my
portable programs the same.

The only thing I need to deal with image wise are required updates and
when I make permanent changes to my system. I always do that on a clean
image then re-image. Very simple and effective.

Incremental/differential backups leave the possibility of corruption.

Macrium is the most reliable I've tested. Paragon has the best feature set,
though if you are not very careful with the settings you can create a non-
restorable image. Very frustrating for anyone getting familiar with the
program. Such possibility and the reliability and speed of Macrium keeps it
on top. That you don't understand this leaves you to the pain of ignorance.

Such plans are good. Plans that preclude the possibility without any
possibility for data loss due to corruption or malware infection are the
best.

Is there any possibility with your plan that your system could become
infected and you save that infection to image?

What my plan does is preclude that possibility as I never image a system
that has been used. I always load a clean image, make the changes and
reimage. My data files and portable programs are always seperated from
the process and managed without imaging. If something happens to any of
those, I always have a clean set to fall back on. There is no
possibility for corruption.

Microsoft image backup is very mature tech. They wrote VSS and related
technologies. I've used it to restore Exchange servers. vhd format is
very reliable. Macrium is a toy. HAND.

With the potential to lose a lot more. Like imaging an incrementally

I agree here with Bear.

For file backuping/archiving
the differential and incremental approach makes much more sense.

I do especiallly with nostalgy remember
the great version archive format
of the old archiver jar32 from 1997.

It was compresing file differences and in the single archive
there were very efficiently stored
multiple versions of the whole big folder trees.

Read the above more carefully.

My alias for best differs from your aliad for best,
even if sometimes they have by chnace the same value. :-)

Paragon has differencial one, occording to the page.

If you were going to catch that Paragon's program doesn't do

Right. But by limiting the program I mention to only backing up say, the
Windows folder, you can cut down total time it takes by a bunch.

No, if a program satisfies your needs, you may look no farther. That
does not mean there doesn't exist a program that can be considered
superior when all features and functionality are examined and compared.
It is how one determines the best.

it isn't a matter of trust...if you trust one's image you can trust the
other. Both work fine. I just prefer a different approach that does use
imaging but not incremental/differential.

..put focuse on "considered" and "one".

Such evaluation is limited to one/group who consider it
and to conditions and criteria that are applied.

Then post your explanation, or post a MID because I can't see where it's
already been explained.

Unless you are too scared to face such a formidable adversary?

Come on, fess up, you have nothing to lose. Show us how 'brite' you are,

Depending on the method used to detect changed files there's the archive
bit issue to deal with for one thing. Especially if you are using
several backup programs.

True, though it isn't really necessary or prudent to spend the time
doing a full backup as often as incremental or differential backups are
made. That is why the concept was brought forth.

Point being, one must store a copy in a geographically diverse spot to
really have a basic backup plan.

The best means that (some) people think
one program is better than all others,

not that one program is better than all others.

It is big difference.

It is like (some) people think this is most useful tool
versus this is most useful tool.

But again, I would agree with you
if you use BEST
as alias for
Best for all according to Bear ( or other chosen people )

Not at all. The only way a program can be best is for people to determine
it is. Without people, it doesn't exist.

That works. I do not have to update my stable images, though I do so
monthly unless there are no major updates, then I skip a month. Looking
back at the last few, I average about once every two months anyway.

Some changes I only make notes of, to be added the next time I restore
the last clean image. These could include program installions or removal
(rare) or major system updates, more frequent. I only have three
installed programs.

I do have images at various states which I sometimes load and use
instead of VMs for various things. However, those images never have to
be updated.

I also have a factory image which I keep updated with system updates,
though I always keep the original and the second to last as a fail safe.

Same with my regular daily use system.

I fact, I am serious. :-D

What anybody thinks about something does not become
atribute of that, but atribut of people opinion.

In context of that,
best = best for all according to some group of people
is perfectly OK.

But such best <> best as atribute of the things.

You are very confused Poutnik. Without people, of what we speak does not
exist. Only people can determine the best. All people have are opinions.

You are very confused, Bear.
Many things exist without people.

The Sun is opinion, the computer is opinion
and the OS installed is opinion too.

Really ?

You say it is opinion bneing best by yourself.

Therefore you confess it is not attribute of program,
but of opinion about program.

And this opinion is limited to group of people and criteria they use.

I've come to the conclusion you are being dishonest or have no deductive
skills.

The sun exists without people. Programs don't. There is no best sun in
our galaxy...only one. That which exists without people just do so. That
which exists because of people can be judged better or worse. It is done
all the time in every walk of life. Scientists et al strive to create
better products. When they do it is best until they develop something
better. In the age of technology, best is short lived but exists.

Would you use a program that has been judged worse because it crashes
every 30 seconds (and actually does) ? The opposite can also be true.

Stop being dishonest Poutnik.

The opinion is because of the attributes which can be compared...it is

Sure, but opinion is not part of program properties.
Or, is it ?

Hm, are you saying by other words that
your opinion is my opinion,
if your opinion is not limited to your criteria ?

( Question mark guarantees I cannot be accused
from putting words into your mouth. :-) )

Of course not. We are done here Poutnik. I can't deal with dishonesty
and pretend it is honest. Do you honestly believe I think my opinion is
your opinion....Don't even try to answer that - no question mark! I mean
fuck.

Without saying in what I am dishonest
it is the same as saying you are liar
without telling what are your lies.

This is dishonst behavior.

> Do you honestly believe I think my opinion is
> your opinion....

Sure I am not, your analyzing abilities are - ehm - interesting.
I have put absurd quastion to show your absurd opinion.

My long experience says
the less sure the peolple are about quality of their reasons
the more they are pushing it to personal level

So, according your logic, if I am right, than I am dishonest.

The case is not about things origin, but if ttribute is theirs
or of opinion about them.

Even if there were more, there would be the best.

Such judgement is independent onif things would exists without people or
not.

Sure, opinions exists, therefore best exist too.
But it is opinion, it is not attribut of thing itself,
no matter if people created it ot not.

No, I would not. But it does not change anything on the fact
worse is opinion, comparing opinion obout 2 things.

Being opinion is nothing about quality,
but about logical status.

Stop accusing people from being dishonest.
You do it every time when your lack of logic is to be revealed.

Errata
Even if there were more, there would be the best
in opinion, not in own properties.

If dishonesty is applying logic
to show where you are wrong,

than I am proud of being dishonest.

But I understand your desire
for me to stop being like that.

What is dishonest on these statements ?

This is the best woman ever ( according to Bear ).
This is other best woman ever ( according to sb else ).

Both are right and it is nothing
about quality of their opinions.

For programs it is the same as for women or anything else.

Nobody can consider as dishonest helping you understand.

If I am wrong, I have no problem to admit that.
I am afraid it is not your case.

Instead saying I am dishonest
it would be enough to show
where I am wrong.

It is consequence of your logic, not mine.
Blame your logic for being dishonest to yourself.

COMMENT: STATE TERROR BearPair's logic arises from his resident
controllers. It is not one person who is floundering in the morass of
a failed dialectic. However, there is nothing wrong,or inauspicious
or immoral in Poutnik's exposing the failed dialectic. The error
would be this: to attempt to correct STATE TERROR BearPair and believe
the correction can remain solid. It changes with the policy of his
resident controllers.
