Hello everybody, I´ve got a question concerning system backup of a dual-boot system. Currently I´ve got WIN 8.1 home (64bit) installed on my computer. I´m thinking of changing that to a dual-boot system (WIN 8.1 + Ubuntu) on the same disk (HD). On different partitions of course. Now I´m looking for a backup programme capable of creating system backups in such a way that my two operating systems would be saved and could easily be restored to the original state of my disk (WIN 8.1 + Ubuntu). Plus that backup programme should be freeware if possible. I found Paragon Backup & Recovery 14 Free Edition and supported File Systems are: NTFS (v1.2, v3.0, v3.1) FAT16 FAT32 Linux Ext2FS Linux Ext3FS Linux Ext4FS Linux Swap Limited read/write access to Apple HFS+ partitions Other file systems (in the sector-by-sector mode) Link: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/requirements.html My question now is: would that be the right programme for my purposes or does anyone know a backup programme that meets my demands? In the meantime I also found an article "Freeware to Backup Windows 7 and Ubuntu Dual Boot System" which promotes Aomei Bachupper Free. There´s also a reference to WIN 8.1 + Ubuntu.
