Is this right for me?
Since this is the product I was considering to get, I would assume this is the right spot to ask the question(s).
I have a SSD I would like to "ghost image" in case it dies (you know how SSD's longevity isn't as long as HDD).
I was recommended Arconis as the software to actually create/clone/ghost the SSD so I can always recover and place it on another SSD if needed to be.
How and what is the plan should I use with this software to meet my goal?
My experience with "clone" was with Norton's Ghost which was many years ago, but that would require me to reboot to DOS where it would clone the whole HDD to the CDs.
From what I read and understand, rebooting to DOS to clone/backup is not needed anymore and I can just schedule it to do an automatic backup-clone to any of my extra HDDs (provided it has enough space for the backup).
Can anyone explain the process to meet my goal and how it would be:
- The actual clone process
Clone/Backup of the whole SSD into one of my media HDD.
- The actual restore process (reimagining)
I would assume I would use a bootup CD/DVD which then will restore the saved image from one of my media HDD to the new SSD
Thank you to whoever can help explain this thoroughly.

Currently, the imaging/cloning process is broken in 2012. There have been reports that it can work if run from a bootable ISO. However, even this has been reported to write corrupt boot information. I have seen the corrupt boot sector on two clones.
I would not purchase this software for imaging until it has been fixed.
