True, Dave. My Western Digital extermal hard drive came with Memeo software
that I must now buy since the 30-day trial ran out. I'm not crazy about
it -- would rather put the money into something else. Joe

What software would you recommend for cloning the hard drives of 4
different Windows computers in my family, located in three different
states? I'd like to purchase one program, install it on all four
PC/laptop units, and have the software periodically clone the hard drive
(and update changed files) of these four machines onto an external hard
drive. I could install the software when the children bring their laptops
home from college, then send
them on their way with the installed SW and an external hard drive each.
Some are FAT-32; some are NTFS.
I know this topic has been covered before. But I've read all the Acronis,
Symantec, etc. reviews and simply get more confused. My WD external hard
drive came with Memeo software, but I find it difficult to use and will
not purchase it now that the 30-day free trial has expired. Any solid
opinions welcome. Thanks. Joe
Some of the external hd's come with backup software, my daughter's Maxtor
drive did, both image and file backup. Sufficient for normal use, the file
backup will schedule updates.
For stand alone imaging, Acronis is popular.
