Software To Backup USB Drive?

Backup my laptop on USB drive?

  • Hi..i have a HP nc6230 laptop but no cdr dvd writer on board, i haven't got the recovery solutions CD that came with the laptop! I want to backup the drive image onto my USB drive allowing me to retsore the laptop if my drive goes down or upgrade, What software will do this? Will the onboard windows backup manager do the job? If my drive goes down booting from DOS will not see the USB drive, i haven't got a floppy drive either!

  • Answer:

    How big is the USB drive? Some images can be larger than 8GB. You may be able to use Symantec Ghost. But typically you would have a Ghost Server running that would send a request ot the client to create an image file. Once you have the image file(s) on the server you could then copy those to a USB hard disk drive.
