Can't remember OS cloning software seen on MGs

    Hey All,

    I was on MajorGeeks about 6 months ago and I ran across some Operating System cloning software, but I can't find it now and I can't remember its name. :-o

    It saved a copy of the OS (from last logon?) and replaced overwrote the current OS at the start of the session (I think that is how it functioned).

    The idea was that any changes to the operating system (malware, virus, etc) that occurred during the previous session would be overwritten and replaced by the original, pristine OS upon rebooting. If you get infected by something, no problem! - just hit reboot and go back to work with a restored operating system.

    Does anyone remember what this utility is called? :confused

    Thanks!

    There are several names I can think of:

    EaseUStodoBackup (free version)

    Macrium Reflect (free version)

    and my personal favorite (not available on Major Geeks)

    AOMEI Backupper

    Thank you for that quick response Mdonah! I checked out all three links and all three products look excellent. My memory might not be too good, but the one I remember had an automatic overwrite of the OS every time you booted up. It was a simple package with one function. But it seemed very effective. If I can't find that one I saw on MajorGeeks 6 months ago, I will probably go with one of your suggestions.

    Thanks for your help!:clap

    If you go to this page, perhaps one of the titles listed will jog your memory.
