Hello all,

I am new in data back up and cloning field.

I want to back up/clone my personal computer. It is new and I finished setting everything up to make it ready to use. I want to copy this exact “ready-to-go” state to restore in the future if it will be needed.

I was searchig for a great software for this job and I found three: Macrium Reflect, Clonezilla, Veeam.

Since I do not want to pay, Macrium Reflect is not an option. So I have left with the two other options.

What I do not understand and can’t info about it is do I need an empty dedicated for cloning/backing up storage device? Can’t I make a clone/back up as a file/folder? What could both option say regarding to this question?

I saw that in Veeam you can make only one copy/backup. Is it true? Cuz I don’t think that I understand it correctly.

Thanjs for the answersnin advance.
