MS Windows 7 Backup Versus MS Synctoy

Jan 13, 2011

What is the difference between MS Windows 7 Backup and MS Synctoy? I am using Windows 7 Backup and only back up the four Libraries and some additional locations off of the C: drive totalling about 45 GB and Windows7 Backup now requires 151 GB of disk space on my external hard drive which only has 70 GB remaining on a 250 GB hard drive.. I think W7 Backup up creates zip files, but it seems like it uses a lot of space otherwise.I am deciding whether to buy a larger (1 TB) external hard drive and continue backup or to start copying the libraries one at a time.

Synctoy Fails To Delete Files?

Jul 20, 2012

I am using Synctoy ver. 2.1. When doing an Echo, new or changed files on left are added to the right, but files that have been deleted on the left are not deleted on the right.

The description clearly states that any changes on the left, including deletions, will occur on the right. I'm sure thinking that when I started using this program several months ago it worked correctly.

[FAQ] Windows Disk Defragmenter Versus The Other Same Programs?

Aug 19, 2012

tell me if Windows Disk Defragmenter is a good defragmenting program?I mean for example if Defraggler, Auslogics Disk Defrag or DiskRescue 2009 are better than Windows Disk Defragmenter?Some of the 3 other programs have different features such as moving the most accessed files to the fastest part of the disk, or even defragmenting the free space remained on the disk.Windows Disk Defragmenter does the same things as the other programs?I want you to be honest and make a correct recommendation, without being influenced by the idea that Windows Disk Defragmenter is a Windows product and here we are on a Windows forum.

Reinstalling Windows 7 - Delete Versus Format

Jun 5, 2012

I got my new computer about 3 weeks ago, but because the video card I picked was out of stock (GTX 680) they installed a standard video card (GT 520) instead. I'll be getting my GTX 680 tomorrow, and I'm thinking about doing a clean installation with Windows 7. I've already installed Windows 7 once when I received my computer, and made a few registry changes 'cause I have an SSD. I'm not quite sure if I should delete or format my SSD and HDD when doing a clean installation. Also, I own an Intel SSD and I read online that it's better to use the Intel Solid-State Drive Toolbox when resetting the drive to its original rather than deleting/formatting.

Windows 7 System Builder Versus Retail

Feb 7, 2013

I have a Gateway P 7805U. It came with a single 320GB HD. It came with Vista but I upgraded to 7. I want to install two 1 TB HDs set up as RAID 1. I was told by MS that I would not be able to transfer my OEM Vista to the new HD and that I would have to buy a full version of 7 to install on the new HDs. What is the difference between the system builder and the retail version of 7? Will I be able to to a full install with the system builder?

Newer Version Versus Older Versions Of Windows 7 Ultimate?

Feb 10, 2011

I keep reading about older versions of Windows 7 Ultimate. Meaning the newer ones are different? I am going to purchase Windows 7 Ultimate but is there a difference? I can get a fairly decent price on A site for an older version of Windows 7 Ultimate so is the smarter choice to purchase the newer though more costly versions, or the older versions at the cheaper price. ( at least 75 dollars up to 100 dollars USD difference in prices)?

Chkdsk In Start-up Repair Versus In Windows Command Prompt

Feb 21, 2012

I recently had a laptop crash (Windows 7 Home Premium x64) during a windows update, had to go through lengthy process which ultimately resulted in need to do system recovery from protected partition on an Acer laptop.

One of the interim steps i had tried was to run chkdsk from a command prompt after having been able to reach "repair your computer". I originally had to create a repair disk to get there, but eventually was able to access it from the computer's hard drive.

Run from the command prompt under start-up repair, the chkdsk was PAINFULLY slow, running for more than 12 hours and without getting through the first step. Granted, it did seem to be trying to fix errors.

I came across something about it being slow based on allocation of system resources in the start-up repair. I wanted to see if anyone could elaborate on that. Now that I've gotten the system recovery working, I'd like to run chkdsk again, and I don't want that to take days. My thought is to run it from an elevated command prompt (run as administrator). I'm also thinking that the /x switch will be needed to run this on the c:drive.

[BACKUP] Windows 7 Backup And Restore Utility?

Aug 23, 2012

When you wish to recover your system using this utility, do you use the Windows program at desktop or the rescue disc I created from the program?The reasn I ask is because I used to have better luck using Acronis' disc rather than the program and wonderd if the same applied here.Also, does the backup remove the existing one so that you only have one at a time or can you have more than one.

(windows Backup) Deleting Old Backup States?

May 8, 2011

I backup 100GB of data with Windows Backup and over the time where I do all my backups there is like only 30GB of data which changed from those 100GB and also new files were added. Now my external drive is full. When I now delete the very early backup, the first one where the 100GB of data was saved, will it delete then ALL those 100 GB, or will it just delete the previous versions of the files which were modified AFTER that time, which are in this case the 30GB I talked about? Because otherwhise I would then have in the end an uncomplete, messed up backup.

Multiple Backup Jobs With Windows 7 Backup?

Dec 7, 2010

I'm using Win 7 Pro and want to schedule several backups to my NAS. With Win XP, I was able to schedule multiple backup jobs, which makes things easier since I have 116 GB of data. I like to backup my documents, email files, etc. every week, but my photos, MP3s, etc. don't change as frequently so once a month is fine for that. Not surprisingly, the media collection takes much longer to backup, which is another reason I try to separate it from my "regular" backup.Unfortunately, Win 7 backup only seems to allow one backup job to be scheduled, which seems awfully limited. Am I missing something? Are there other free backup utilities that would work better, or do I need to shell out some cash?

NVidia Versus AMD/ATI

Oct 1, 2012

I have been debating between which one I want to go with for my next card. Apparently, AMD isn't going to be updating the driver for the 4800 series to Windows 8 (which really ticks me off...). That is why I'm considering nVidia for the first time. Few things I want to do with a new card:

- Gaming at 1920x1080 graphics maxed, or close to at frame rates of at least 60.

- Some bitcoin mining (nothing serious, just curious about it), and possibly some other GPGPU related stuff.

Also, the card needs to work well in both Windows and Linux x64 as I use both. The only nVidia Ive ever worked with was an old Quadro FX 1400, which I put into a Dell Optiplex GX280, and it runs great under Linux and Windows.

HP Versus Refillable Ink Cartridges?

Apr 27, 2012

I am so frustrated. I have been routinely using refilled ink cartridges in my HP All-in-One Officejet J6450 printer. The last time I replaced both of the ink cartridges I had to deal with getting around HPs by now usual messages and other interferences designed to disrupt my printing experience including having to uninstall and reinstall the printer, and then re-registering it with HP online. (Perhaps I invited these problems by registering in the first place?! Note to self!) But, with this last cartridge change HP has gone too far! I am no longer able to print any document I send to the printer-period! Every time I try to send a doc to the printer the HP Solution Center sends me a message that there is a printer error-yeah, an error that comes from HPs evil end! I know the printer is functioning properly on its own as I can print test pages and make copies just fine.I would love to know what I can do to "unsabotage" my printer. I should have every right to use whichever ink cartridge I choose that does not infringe on HPs patented ink formulas.This feels like a personal attack when my family's and my own work is so arbitrarily disrupted!

MacBook Pro Versus HP Envy?

Aug 29, 2010

I already have the envy, you can see my specs. I want to know if it would be worth switching to a MacBook Pro. If I did, I would want windows 7 on it for sure. Is it worth it? I love windows 7, but I also love the compatibility that Apple makes with all its stuff. Apple makes decent hardware, HP seems like their machines are cheap and not well built.

Sync Toy Versus SkyDrive

Jan 15, 2013

sync files between my desktop and notebook, and using other devices. I have been using SyncToy for quite a while, with fairly good results. Sometimes though I seem to get edits (deletions and overwrites) that I really do not want. Is there a better solution for syncing large amounts of files? I am starting to try out using SkyDrive, but I�m not totally comfortable with putting sensitive documents online, also I often use my notebook without any internet access and I would like to be able to have a local copy available. Optimally I would like to be able to have a master drive that both desktop and notebook sync their local versions to.

Backup Software That Splits Large Files For Incremental Backup

Dec 3, 2012

Any simple backup program that is capable of backing up large files incrementally by splitting the file and backing up only changed parts of the file? The files I'm talking about are files that get altered by appending stuff at the end of the file, e.g. log files or mailbox files, so it's generally possible to split a new version of the file at the exact point where the old version stopped, purely by file size.

Specifically, I want to back up Thunderbird and SeaMonkey mailboxes without having to create additional subfolders within those programs. I understand that if something had changed near the beginning of the file, then the whole file will have to be backed up, unless the backup program is capable of some very clever searching, but mostly the files will change only by having data appended to it.

Windows 7 64bit Versus Windows XP 32bit?

Jan 18, 2012

I've been trying to weigh the benefits of upgrading my OS to the costs (installing everything all over again for hours) and was wondering how much of a benefit would I get from upgrading from my old Windows XP 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit? My hardware can more than handle a 64bit version of windows but how much benefit would I likely see? I use the system mainly for gaming and some photoshopping and browsing the internet. I know there is no direct upgrade from XP to 7 so I'm trying to decide if I want to just bite the bullet and finally install 7 or if the hours of reinstalling all my programs wouldn't be worth it.
