Hi
I don't think, Rufus could fit this bill.

Hi Harish,
Thanks for this feedback, good to know. Does Rufus allow backing up the entire
hard drive including operating system, then to move it later to another hard
drive if the existing drive crashes? What if the restore drive has a smaller
disk capacity than the source drive from which the image was originally made,
but the actual data is less than the target disk, does Rufus allow
restructuring the image to fit the smaller disk capacity?
This is why I moved away from Windows Backup, because it doesn't allow moving
the disk to another disk without forcing the partition sizes to match the
source. Macrium will allow you during the restore, to use the maximum partition
size as the maximum available disk space, so that even if you bought a smaller
disk for your operating system later, it will still restore to it provided of
course the data can fit. The other problem is with Windows Backup, even if you
later get a larger disk than the source disk to target for the restore, Windows
Backup will create the OS partition as the size of the source disk, leaving the
remaining capacity of your new larger disk not included in your partition.
That's quite useless. So Macrium helps prevent all this. Now I'm wondering
about Rufus and whether it can also do this?
Thanks.

Hi
I use Rufus to make disk image and to make bootable USB disk. This is pretty
accessible and I don't have any accessibility issue navigating it.

Hi friends,
I'm excited to inform those interested that I managed to navigate my way around
Macrium Reflect Manager, which is a software I now use to image disks
containing a complete Windows operating system. If ever my disk fails, gets a
virus Etc, I can recover it, along with my screen-readers, all installed and
configured Apps Etc exactly as they are now. The software is not generally too
accessible but I have found work-arounds to actually access it quite nicely
with Jaws. Similar things can be done with NVDA no doubt.
It can image a disk image of a larger disk size to a smaller disk size,
provided the data itself being imaged can fit on the smaller disk. Windows
Backup and Restore cannot do this, which is why I am using this external
program to do it.
Anyone interested in this can contact me. For now I'm including attached to
this E-mail my notes I took for myself so that I don't forget how to do this
when months or years later I need to do it again with this software.
There was a Freeware version available previously, but now they no longer
provide it. Fortunately before the company decided to stop offering the free
version I downloaded the off-line installers of the free versions for Windows 7
(32-bit) and for Windows 10. Since it is not illegal to do so anyway I can
safely publically offer to send the software to anyone wanting it.
I mean, we blind people have to look after each other so I'm trying to do my
little bit to walk the talk as far as that is concerned.
Kind regards,
Yamuna Jivana Dasa
