Hi Long, |
Very few of our tools are networked (or could be networked) for backups to a server, so I recently started using Clonezilla to create clones of all of the tools. Clonezilla is a lightweight bootable Linux build whose sole purpose is to clone drives. Just put it on a flash drive (or CD, for tools older than flash drive support -- first-gen Windows XP and earlier), stick it in the tool, and boot to it. It'll guide you through the steps. |
Once I have the clone, I keep the dedicated clone drive in a safe place *and* manually put the clone image on a server in case something happens to the physical copy of the clone. |
Best, |

Hi All, |
Yesterday we experienced a HDD failure for our AFM. This event should have been prevented by the Raid Mirror with 2 HDD. Our setup where we just have a single working drive and a spare backup clone has been more successful. We are planning to move away from Raid Mirror. Anyone has expertise/experience here they can share? |
Thanks, |
Long Chang |

Hello Long; |
We have some systems that are older but still work great and have a legacy |
computer. The computer sometimes can not be |
upgraded if it also uses older cards such as ISA slots. The limited life |
time of spinning hard drives caused us to switch to using |
SSD for the older IDE interface drives. Making a duplicate on a second SSD |
and keeping the backup in a static bag nearby is |
a low cost backup. We have needed to use this a few times and it was |
quick and easy to swap it out. |
Regards, Tony W. |
