It depends on what you want to back up.
64 gb won't be nearly big enough for the entire computer but may
be big enough for data backup.
It you want to back up the entire comp then get an external HDD/SSD as 
big or bigger than your comp's storage device.


I use Macrium Reflect and make clones instead of backups.
That way if a HDD, SSD, NVMe.2 drive goes back I can swap the drives
and be back up and running in 5 minutes... remember that some of us also 
use computers for work.

Do NOT buy software off of EBay unless you are absolutely positive the
deal is legit.  Get it from Microcenter, Frys, maybe New Egg, etc.

I use the Macrium Reflect paid version and it clones my HHD well but 
when I clone my M.2 drives they will not boot-I have repaire the boot 
partition to no avail. When the clone is finished it say no errors and 
the look the sAME???

I backup on two levels.  I keep data out of the boot partition and 
backup data with COPY, or sometimes XCOPY such as this:


xcopy /s/y/d X:\Profiles Y:\Profiles

For boot partition backup I use DfSee.  That does a bit-for-bit clone - 
I don't care for "images".  My backups I can read and write to.


DfSee can clone a partition or complete HDD.  All my desktop machines 
have all HDDs as front panel plug-in.  And all OSs are on one HDD and 
apps and data are on another HDD.  If I loose an OS I can swap the OS 
HDD and the apps and data do not know the difference.  And if I loose an 
apps or data partition I can swap that HDD and the OSs do not know the 
difference.


The typical Win box has everything in one C partition, which in now over 
a TB in size.  It is like buying a home appliance; loose one transistor 
and you loose the entire unit.  But if you break it into pieces you can 
maintain the pieces individually.


If you are on this list it implies you are willing to try to put the 
"personal" back into PC.

One Time and not continuous: Acronis rescue disk included with Acronis True

Do it now and then with it. Already needed to restore once and use it all the

What you need to do is increase the max version of the target

install it.

O.K., maybe the '99' might be a little far fetched, but, rather then 
spoofing the newest version UA or a near future UA, spoof a far future 
UA and see if it would (always) be 'acceptable'!!



It's certainly possible, although something that's too far away from 
something reasonable might get you noticed.  There's a lot of botnet 
traffic out there that shows forged UAs, and some web site admins may 
set their sites to reject connections from UAs that are obviously bogus.


Smith


Valid ... but that would mean that admins might get away with, say, FF 
70, but, in the not to distant future, they'd be adjusting their filters 
to FF 80, or something higher, again.
