    Help with creating a system image backup


    Perhaps in some years there will be software that does it all in one step. But for now those of us that do backups have our system images saved, and we have a rescue USB flash drive or DVD saved that we can boot our computers from in order to restore the backup image that we have saved. And some of us have even combined our rescue USB flash drives and the system image we have saved onto a single hard drive that we can both boot from and has the image on it to restore our system from. It's not a waste of time for us. Step 1 - boot from rescue USB flash drive or DVD. Step 2 - restore the backup image to the new SSD. That's the way even the huge corporations do it - they have backups of the data, and they have separate recovery programs that they have to run when they need to restore the backup. Your issue is that you refuse to create the USB flash drive or DVD used for step 1.

    I agree on this one.

    If I understand correctly, OP has a good Macrium Reflect image on flash drives - excellent! All that is needed is one other flash drive to make the Macrium Reflect Rescue Media boot -- or do as I did: also make a DVD boot in case USB doesn't boot when needed. Re-image onto the new SSD, and all is ready to go.

    My keyboard and my fingers do not always cooperate with each other -- I often have to re-read before posting reply.
