    Random R/W to backup hard drive slowing down system


    Greetings. I have an Asus VivoBook F510UA-AH51. It has an i5-8250U CPU, 8G RAM, a 230GB SSD for windows 10 21H1 and my working files, and a 930GB hard drive for backup only. I've had it since July 2018 and it has worked great. An issue I've had the last couple months is that after doing random things like clicking on a cell in Excel or scrolling down in a browser, there will be a pause, I'll hear the hard drive spinning up, then a second later the action will complete and things will go on. This happens a couple time per minute, so it appears some kind of temporary file or cache now res

    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

    Using network hard drive for backup

    It depends what sort of backup you want to do. If you're happy just backing up regular files, then there are a bazillion (really, that many!) different bits of freeware to do that. There is a good list here:

    Download Back Up Tools for Windows - MajorGeeks

    and pretty much all of them can do network backups. Some even have fancy options like encryption. Really, the most useful thing is just being able to schedule them and know they ran OK.

    You may also want to make a system image backup too, and you'll find that software in the very same list.

    I don't have Windows 8 as yet, so I'm afraid I can't suggest any for that platform. Personally, I use Clonezilla for image backups.

    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    Obviously you're looking for something besides your Xp Pro utility that does this?
