Best Settings for HD Clone
I have been having issues with TrueImage 2020 (latest build) and the phone support has been less than helpful in setting up a backup that actually works.
The computer I'm trying to backup:
I have a Window 7 Pro 32bit computer that does just one task. The HD is 250 GB but the used space is only 35 GB. I have True Image 2020 installed in Windows and I am using the latest version.
Goal:
To do a full image backup of this computer every night at 6pm to an external USB 5TB Seagate Drive. I would like to do three backups and then have it delete the oldest image on the 5TB drive.
If the current HD dies, I want to be able to take the newest backup image on the 5TB drive, write it to a brand new HD, put the new HD into the computer, and boot just like nothing happened.
My Current Settings:
Schedule: Daily at 6pm
Backup: Custom Scheme, Full Backup, Store no more than 3 recent version
Advanced: Backup sector by sector, No backup of unallocated space
Will this meet my goal of writing the newest backup image to a brand new HD, put the new HD into the computer, and boot just like nothing happened?
Thanks!

I would only do sector by sector for forensic reasons or when trying to rescue accidentally deleted files (in case something goes seriously pear-shaped).
