Har problem med att återställa säkerhetskopia till dator.

[Hatte]

Har en HP Elitedesk 800 G4 (WIN 11) och använder Macrium Reflect för säkerhetskopiering. Det går bra att säkerhetskopiera till en extern hårddisk, men den vägrar att installera säkerhetskopian åter till datorn. Får bara att ett problem har uppstått och att datorn måste starta om. Jag har 3st äldre HP-datorer (WIN 10) och kör med samma program, och där är inga problem att återställa säkerhetskopian till datorerna

Google's translator for Swedish is much better than me so here is what the google said:

Has an HP Elitedesk 800 G4 (WIN 11) and uses Macrium Reflect for backup. You can back up to an external hard drive, but it refuses to install the backup back to your computer. Only get that a problem has occurred and that the computer needs to restart. I have 3 older HP computers (WIN 10) and run with the same program, and there is no problem restoring the backup to the computers.

My answer is that I've used both Macrium Reflect and Acronis True Image and personally found that the True Image software worked better for me. I've used the 2014 and 2016 versions and most recently the 2021 verstion. I only use the bootable USB approach to running the software, and more recent workstations want the more recent version. I'm sure that has to do with included drivers Acronis loads onto the USB drive it helps you make. I'm using it on up to and including ZX G4 workstations. Have not yet had a chance to try it with the ZX G5 generation.

I don't use all of its capabilities, and only do full drive backups onto an external 2TB HDD over a USB3 connection with the boot thumb drive being a quality USB3 one for best speed. I keep the accumulated backups as an archive, adding to it over time (these are not incremental backups). This approach is not ideal but works for me. We use a good number of our identical-hardware imaging HP workstations both on-site and at people's homes for ER work. The client installs of these dedicated builds can be an exact duplicate via cloning of any of the archived versions I need. I use this approach on W10Pro64 and W11Pro builds, being the guy who proves certain upgrades don't break anything.
