Re: [FRIAM] bootable backup of windows?

2014-10-04 Thread Owen Densmore 
A bootable backup for me (Mac) means SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner which
have an option to make the backup disk bootable .. i.e. when booting, hold
down a magic key and the boot program gives you the choice of which device
to boot from.

This is especially lovely when a disk goes bad .. you can literally replace
the bad one with the backup.  Yes, you'll be missing some work done since
the backup, but Dropbox and others take care of that.  Lets you backup at a
reasonable interval (week?) or when you do system updates (new OS, new
Apps, etc)

 Not sure what you mean by “bootable backup”. For something where you can
 boot into a full OS (Linux) from CD and then restore to the bare metal of a
 hard drive (even including Windows systems), I’ve had good luck with Redo
 Backup and Recovery (http://redobackup.org/).

Greetings all!
I'm looking for a program that lets you plop text, and move pictures around
for MacOS

Windows can kinda-sorta do that with paint.

You can try Gimp (http://www.gimp.org).  It's primarily an image editor, but 
can do text overlays. It handles text a bit oddly, so it'll take some work to 
get used to it, but for small amounts of text, it should be fine.  A heck of a 
lot better than Paint. Free and available with ports for Mac and Windows.
