Nice work Kari.

How fast would you like to backup - like this for a full 20GBs
All you need is an OS on a SSD, an imaging folder on a HDD and free Macrium. But even if you do not have an SSD and use an external USB attached disk for the images, it is pretty fast.
Tks Wolfgang. Interesting. Is that the free version? Did it image the full 20G or a differential backup? That is on your SSDs, right?How fast would you like to backup - like this for a full 20GBs
I like Macrium too and I use the free version, I created a Scheduled Task to image my hard drive on my work laptop. I always erase the previous image and create a new one. It takes about 40~45 minutes for 70G. But the free version will not create a differential backup and as much as I like Macrium, if I don't have to pay for it, I prefer not to. So my wish was to have something like that in Windows 8

This is the free Macrium version and it takes full images of the 20GBs from the SSD to the HDD. I do not like differentials because if you lose one in the middle, you lose the whole chain. Even when I used to image with Ghost, I always took full images. I do keep all my data in a different data partition. That partition I image too, but on a different schedule.
Windows7 has an imaging facility, but I do not like it because a), I have seen a lot of people that had trouble with it and b) you cannot mount the images to e.g. copy just one file without jumping thru 7 hoops.
I trust Macrium a lot more and I have made recoveries on Windows7, Vista and XP at least a dozen times without incident.
Libraries are doing well in 7 for sure...I like them and be able to parameter what i want to share or not. I anyway think there will be improvement for manies things that are already set in 7, maybe offlines and sync like in pro 7 version should a standard for a home user?
I'd like to see the next version of Windows run natively and NOT "in the cloud"

Yeah, this cloud stuff is for the birds.
Why not incorporate something like Sandboxie in Win 8?
The more layers of protection the better. Just my opinion and you know what opinions are like...............
Anyway I am enjoying all the input everyone has given really like this forum. TIA
That would be an excellent idea because Sandboxie can be a pain.
