This simplicity is achieved by storing images on local USB drives. This means nothing the least bit clever if I have a machine needing an image restore.

The solution has been given but in case it is of interest I'll say what I do with OneDrive which isn't all that different.įirst, my philosophy for image backups which include only OS and Apps, not data files, is to keep it very simple.

Doing this has reduced my Wasabi cloud storage bill from $50 to $15 per month! Incidentally, Microsoft has increased the maximum file size to 250GB, so I set this as the file size limit in Macrium. I have Microsoft 365 which includes 1TB of cloud storage for each family member. But for my purposes, I just copy the full image. Of course you could copy differential and or incremental backups to the cloud as well. This way I have a full image backup of each computer in the cloud. I do this via a browser, since it does not require any local disk space. What I do is periodically upload a full image from the attached USB drive to each of my families OneDrive. This drive contains full image backups plus differentials. I have 4 computers that each backup to their own dedicated attached USB drive. If not how can the backups be saved in OneDrive? My strategy, I normally backup to an external drive separate folders drives C: and F: together (on the same backup), drive F: on its own and drive G: on its own.Ĭan Macrium Reflect Home v paid for backup to the cloud (OneDrive) directly? I have four drives in my main pc, 1 SSD drive C: has windows and some software applications, 1 SSD drive F: has software applications only, 1 HDD drive F: has my videos only and 1 HDD drive G: has all my Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and OneDrive folder.
