I'm building a new system and need some advice on backup methods/software. I am planning to use an SSD for the Win7 OS drive (and at least basic programs), and would like to have the ability to copy the contents to another drive and have this backup drive be bootable if possible. This is so that in the event of a OS drive failure I could use the backup until a replacement can be added. Data will be stored on other drives which are already backed-up.
I have looked briefly at software to accomplish this, but it's overwhelming without actually trying out the software/hardware in actual usage.
Can this be done in any simple way?
Do I need to use an empty drive as the destination for the OS drive backup?
Any suggestions on software to use?
