Hi all,

Basically the title. I have several computers that get saved every now and then using Clonezilla in case of a critical hard drive crash. Data backups are made in a different way.

While I like Clonezilla, I’ve been wondering if there was some better cross-platform alternatives? What solution do you use for this scenario?

    Depends on the cost, I tried to figure out their pricing but their pricing page is crap.

    Backblaze does unlimited computer backups, minus Linux and shared network drievs for 99/yr

      Thanks for your input! I don’t know where you looked but the Clonezilla is a USB boot-based backup solution which is done by yourself using hard drives.

      I’m not interested in paying to host my backup files, I prefer to use the drives that I have at home to backup my computers instead of paying for online storage.

          Obviously has an offsite backup at grandma’s house. Or simply lives in a house that can’t burn down.

          Then I’m screwed. You made a very good point although my main question was about backup solutions / software vs. good practices.
