You don't need to keep lots of full disk images, Macrium Reflect Free does differential backups and Paragon Backup & Recovery Free does both incremental and differential backups, as indeed do some other free backup programs, e.g. Vrdiver wrote:I've figured out a brand new, shiny backup regime*, which uses disk images (Macrium Reflect - free version) and Robocopy. *I'll post the backup regime separately as a sanity check on the approach. I can use the XO switch to just update my "full" copy with latest changes, so the full bckup never has to be done from nothing after the first run, but I'd love to know how to speed up file copies across the network (music files currently being copied at < 5Mb/s). Unfortunately, robocopy seems to run excessively slowly between my PC and NAS (ethernet via router). in the event of mishap, I can go back to previous editions of a file for any day in the last 4 weeks (obviously you could choose how many days/ weeks to store, or whether to change the granularity to hours etc). Each week I end up with a "full" copy of the folders, and 7 "day" folders with incremental changes stored. I thought I'd write a script using the built-in Windows robocopy command: the script works fine, allowing me to back up specific folders and making full copies of the contents to my NAS, and then the next day making a copy of just the files that have been changed. Macrium reflect allows me to create an image of a disk (or partition) which is great, but I want to keep incremental backups, which makes full disk images quite storage-intensive (one per day for the last 4 weeks). I've figured out a brand new, shiny backup regime*, which uses disk images (Macrium Reflect - free version) and Robocopy.
