Backup Suggestion

[gabe927]

I recently purchased 6 2TB drives and set them up in a raid 5 in my server with the intention of using the 10TB of storage for backups.  On my desktop, I want to image the 128GB SSD and the 1TB HDD, but I don't want the image to include my steam library as I already have all my games backed up on an external drive.  I typically use the free edition of Macrium Reflect for creating images and I know this would work fine for a full image, but I'm not sure if it can image only specific folders.  Anyone know if this is possible?  Any software suggestions on the best way to back up my data?

A image is the full drive/partition or nothing, so file level backups if you don't want to included everything.

 

Id do image only on your boot drive, and do files backups of the boot drives and non games on your hdd.

I have the paid version of Macrium that runs a weekly incremental backup of my gaming desktop onto my NAS.

When doing the backup process, just be sure that you’re not selecting for the software to make a backup/image of the hard drive that has your Steam game library. I have all my Steam games on a separate disk and I don’t back those up.
