System image backup: Use Windows 10 or Backupper?

Hi all,

Which is best to use as a system image backup?

Windows 10 Pro tool or Backupper?

Note: This will be a system image after updates and a clean install. It will be put onto a USB 3.0 pen drive

I never thought to include the backup image on the same UBS drive. I like to use an old 4GB usb 2.0 pen drive to boot from, then have a usb 3.0 pen drive for the backup image so that it transfers over a lot quicker.

It's not for me, it's for my dad's new laptop I got him. Hence the system image backup. For backups I've taught him to use Allway Sync to sync his backups. Might look at backupper for this now though as only just clicked!

Do you find that backupper is better than the Windows internal tool?

Why Macrium over backupper?

Hi guys,

An update for you.

I ended up using the Windows system image recovery option for my dad's laptop.

If I were to use a third party, at the moment I would recommend using Macrium free as Backupper isn't working well at all with Windows 10 at the moment.
