John thanks for the info. I dont think that will work for my HP Z820 system since it has its own style of drives that that might be unique to its easy access design.

Thats what I needed to know. I will have to delve into the Paragon Readme soon to get the details on the clone process. It seems so much easier then making an image disk AND a boot disk.

From my research I deduce that Acronis and Paragon are capable of the same functions.Is that your understanding?

Since I have Paragon I hope to make that work.

If you clone a drive on the PC are there issues with Windows only allowing you to do it a certain amount of times?

I need a better grasp of which process is better , cloning or imaging.
And why I would do one as opposed to the other.

It was much simpler on the Mac 😀

Michael, when you clone the drive what software do you use. I bought Paragon since lots of folks had good things to say about it.

The clone you make is bootable right? And I assume you are talking about PCs in your post.

What do you mean by “restage”.

I was under the impression that I needed to use Paragon to make an image of my Main Drive to a Copy (an extenal USB 3 drive I bought), and also create a boot disk with Paragon. Then if the system crashed due to non mechanical reasons, I then used the boot drive to allow me to use the copy to restore the Main Drive.

The process you describe is similar to the approach I used on the Mac. I used Super Duper to make a bootable clone to an external drive. Then if the Main drive crashed, I could boot up on the external and if desired copy all its info back to the Main Drive, or a new one I might replace it in the machine.

Please give me a detailed step by step desciption of your process.

Trying out E3D1.0.322 on brand new HP Z820. I was following along with the extrude tutorial. After setting things (extrude,bevel,etc) up I exited back to AE and set final key frames for Scatter, Rotation, etc at 4 sec. Then went to the beginning of the timeline and changed the values on those same parameters. I had Multiprocessor on and the program crashed hard when I hit 0 to ram preview.

Hi Alex, agnostic is good. It leaves you open minded to different ways to do things. Minor variations, but the unknown can be annoying at times.

Once Im in Premiere or After Effects all is familiar.

Even on day 2 I feel oriented and more comfortable. But Im glad I have the forums , HP and my VAR (Safe Harbor Computers) to get help from if I need it.

Should start a personal project soon to see how it rockets. 😀

Chris my configuration is not typical. I got the fastest processors (2-2687) but only the Quadro 600 so I could replace it with the GTX 570. I got 1500GB System/Apps drive and 3 of the same data drives. Also the big 30 monitor, 5/5/5 warranty, 24/7 repair at my place, blu ray writer and 64GB of ram. After 27% off for the computer, some discounts off the service warranty and free next day shipping Id say about $11,000. Which is much better then what it might have cost.

I have no strong emotions since , as it turn out, Raid Shield is only needed when I want to look under the hood of the raid system. I realize there is a period of adjustment. And I have been here before, just away for four years. 😀
Once I get past all the preliminary setup stuff. Im sure I will be ecstatic with the enhanced performance and speed!
