I am using Sony Laptop with windows 8 pro (failed upgrade to 8.1). There is a built in utility in Sony software to backup your data but it needs much space and each time it make backup of the entire system (not the updates or the changes done since last backup)
Currently, I have formatted my Laptop and restored factory settings
I have no much experience in backup processes and applications, I need advice about how to do backup. I always do copy my important files to external HDD. I think there is many types of backup as simple backup of entire system and System image
1. which application is the best [acronis, O&O DiskImage, Macrium,........]
2. Backup or system image is better? and how much space needed ?
3. What is the frequency to do backup? is there an option to do backup once then save only the updates or the changes?
4. Backup is better done to internal or external HDD or DVDs?
Please any one who reply give some details
