Asus Backtracker gone?
Where’s the download for Asus Backtracker? Apparently it’s been removed from the site? Is this another blunder because I just bought myself a 16GB 3.0 USB specifically for Backtracker and now it’s not available? ‘:f
I also heard there’s problems with it with Windows 8.1?
Now I’m even more scared to do a format.. ‘;f

If you are nervous about erasing your only copy of everything, your boot disk, you should be 
I wouldn’t immediately delete your source boot disk, I would boot on the USB Flash recovery drive, using another 2.5″ disk to test it. Restore to it, and make sure the Backtracker created recovery flash drive works.
Don’t forget, the 2nd bay drive needs to be removed, only have 1 drive in the machine when you restore, as the restore program deletes all the partitions on both internal drives it finds, and then recreates the out of the box config.
Have fun
Well.. why the updates? What changed since 3.0.3?
It also seems I have Asus Backtrack 2.0.0 on my PC already. ( It has so many spelling mistakes in it, lol. )
Also, I overheard that some USB 3.0’s aren’t compatible with using for backup? ( are you kidding me )
I really wish I knew WHY everything with these compys was so ‘dangerous’. Incompatible this, wrong version that..
This isn’t fun, hmscott! x’<
Darnassus, there aren’t many fun gaming qualities to backups or restores
The JX is actually the only one with a Asus Backtracker download, it’s listed under the Windows 8.1 downloads and it is version 3.0.7. There are no downloads for Backtracker under the JW/JH support area under Windows 8 or 8.1.
I upgraded to the 3.0.3 and did my first Backtracker Backup with it, and then the 3.0.7 version, but I don’t think I ever used the 2.x series. I would try the 3.0.7 version first if you have updated to Windows 8.1. If you are still running Windows 8.0 then try the 3.0.3 version.
I had a new SSD to use for testing, it was the one I was migrating to anyway, so I didn’t endanger my original boot drive. It worked great.
What are you restoring to for your test restore?
