Can You PLEASE Recommend the Right Product for ME
Please help me choose the right “BACKUP & RESTORE” product. My needs are not elaborate, but are very specific. I do NOT need server/networking or remote features. I will manage locally at the workstation level.
I have some HP laptops running Windows 7 that I use for training purposes.
I need them to be “WIPED / CLEANED” [with DBAN]– after every class – so that new students will start from a default EXACT IMAGE.
The internal laptop drives (SATA) have MULTIPLE PARTITIONS (C: D: & E:) … including a hidden partition.
I would like to create / copy of my Perfect HD IMAGE with multiple partitions to an attached USB 3.0 drive.
I would like to restore the duped / cloned “images” on the external USB 3 drives back onto the cleaned / wiped internal laptop drives.
VIP: The internal and external drives are DIFFERENT SIZES – so backing up AND restoring to different drive sizes is a must.
The restoration images need to be able to get back to the laptops in a “RAW” state. I will be using a DISK WIPING utiliy such as DBAN to reset the Laptop’s HD to zeros.
Before RESTORING—will I need to Partition the Drive First?????
OK, so there you have it. PLEASE let me know which of your product(s) I need to make this happen.
Thank you very much. I look forward to your reply.
