fadsarmy Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'm sure most of you are aware that Winows 7 can back up your system and recover it just like Acronis can. Would you advise us against using this utility with SSD's or is it fine? I have used it without any issues and was wondering why people prefer to use Acronis or Ghost? Any comments would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The basic Windows backup states that it'll only copy the main drive and may not copy all program data, although AFAIK it copies all the program data. Acronis / Ghost copies everything period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbeard Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 WIN7 also has a system image option but I have not tested it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I didn't know Win7 has a system imaging option. I have used both Ghost and Acronis and both work well. I currently use Acronis now as I like the interface and works well. Acronis copied the image perfectly for me from SSD to SSD and also from SSD to HDD.

Sometimes with Acronis you get mbr errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
