The Dispossessed Orangutan

Thanks again. I have been asking about USB sticks because the new laptop, and I imagine any computer I acquire in the future, will not have an onboard optical disc drive. I prepared a Clonezilla Live usb stick (amd64 Debian build) and will give this a try. Thank you.

Thanks for the info. Can Clonezilla live on a USB stick without any install on the system? I think I am realizing that the contemporary versions of Acronis and Macrium require installation on the system that they are intended to restore. I guess that is how they prevent use with multiple computers as the 1 computer license looks for that computers licensing info or something like that. It has been my habit to clone the system disc before I put anything additional on it. I would like to pay for a perpetual product that is intended to work as a portable install USB on a typical household of computers. Thank you.

Hi, I have an old optical disc of Acronis True Image that I associate with my very old DAW, and I have occasionally used that with households laptops as well. I have an old Macrium Free usb stick that I have used to back up my old home theater mini PC but I have never needed to use it. (knock on wood) I just purchased a new Win10+ Pro laptop for my wife, and I would like to make a series of back up images as we load her software on it. I would like to continue the convention of booting to an auxiliary device, such as a USB stick, and cloning images to an external drive. I don't need any incremental backup or management features. What are the choices these days? It seems like Acronis has gone to a subscription, and I did not find much info about booting to a USB stick, and if you can if it may be used on multiple computers the way the old optical disc worked. It seems like Macrium offers a free and or a reasonably priced one time purchase of a Home backup. It seems like Macrium has a ready method for a USB stick but suggests it may be tied to a single computer unless you buy an expensive "technicians" license. If I settle on Macrium Free would I need a unique USB stick for each system? I am hoping someone can help me make sense of the choices. Any suggestions? Thank you!

How do you buy a copy in the USA? The site mentions that d16 is on a DVD. Can you buy a "digital" copy of the magazine on the website and download the d16 software? Thank you.

This performance taught me to be a better listener.

With regards to the suggestion that the issue may be power supply related; it could be some sort of "chassis shield" issue. Is everything that you have interconnected referenced to the same ground connection at a single wall receptacle in a star ground configuration? If so, an easy test to try would be to flip the polarity of the AC power plug for the Boss BRC power supply in your AC outlet. Just pull it out of the AC, flip it over, and shove it back in to see if the relative position of the Hot and "Neutral" somehow relates to the effective shielding of the GR-20 and its interconnections.
