Success

Thread needs solution

I had a few odd things happen to the computer I use for a CNC machine controller. So I purchased another computer to put the same software and system onto just in case the old one went fritzzzzzzz. I purchased True Image and Plus Pak and asked quite a few questions on this forum. Got some good advise and a grumble or two for asking questions.
Today I used it all to attempt a transfer of everything to the newer computer. After feeling my way through - checking out all the bells and whistles - thinking to myself OH GAWD NO -- DON'T DO THAT ONE! Backing up and trying again until I felt I was on track and then what the hell pushing the final proceed button. It worked! I tested the software on the computer, all worked well, so I unhooked everything, wrapped the computer in plastic and put it on a shelf for the just in case of a disaster scenario -----.
Thanks for the help folks it was appreciated. Now I hope I never hear the old computer go fritzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

It is a wonderful safety net.

I've done entire disk restores hundreds of times, on many different PCs with differing hardware and OS. I've rescued friends and family after they've suffered complete hard drive failures, and they think I'm a hero when I install a fresh drive, restore from a True Image backup, and their system is back identical to what it was before the crash with no data loss.

I'm so confident in True Image, that I often use it to restore my system after testing software. I make a full disk backup. I install some software package I want to try. After working with the new app, if I decide not to keep it or if it causes problems to my system, I restore the backup and everything is returned to the state prior to when the new app was installed.
