My laptop HDD is slowly failing, and I am trying to back up a system image before replacing it. The problem is every time I attempt it, there is an I/O error that stops the whole thing. Basically my hard drive will work in short bursts, have an I/O error, then work again. This makes creating an image nearly impossible.
Any thoughts or recommendations on what I can do to back it up? I have programs on it that I can't replace.
Unfortunately, your question as written is primarily opinion-based and will likely be closed because overly subjective questions are not a good fit for our Q&A model. The help center has more guidance on how to ask a good question and what kinds of questions to avoid asking.
