Hey,

Can you suggest an application (free/or cheap is better) that will allow me to perform a full clone of an OS drive to a network share, on a schedule & for multiple machines? Something that I could restore to a new drive from an image if the original experiences a catastrophic failure. Basically, to avoid having to re-install everything & backup mydocs at the same time.

Better yet, do incremental backups to that same image?

I have several PC's that are now on SSDs, and for reliability's sake I'd like to clone the entire partition to a network share in case of failure.

Thanks for the suggestions :)
 
built in windows 7 backup does a great job for me.

Just used it the other day to swap out SSD to Hard drive back new SSD.
 
Thanks, yeah... Unfortunately network backup is a feature Win 7 Home Premium lacks. (Only available in Enterprise, professional or ultimate I believe).

For now, I've resorted to the built-in backup, which only saves to a local drive. Which I have to sync after via synctoy to my share. (This also has the con of not being incremental). Oh well.
