Jav,

"... when I needed to do a restore it became a mess and I never recovered the whole partition, just files from it."

The linked web site for Genie Timeline Home has a lot of good info that it won't hurt to read. While designed to be easy to use, Genie Timeline can still be confusing because there are so many options, e.g. one mode for disaster recovery, which is supposed to recover or restore a partition, as opposed to the many other file backup options. That said, Macrium Reflect Free is simpler to use, because there aren't so many options -- mainly backup/restore disk/partition image backups -- so may be preferred by some people.

" I got "geniecmdagent.exe > mfc100u.dll, msvcr100.dll, msvcp100.dll, msvcr100.dll not found errors". A Google search came up with needing to loaded Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package... I need to run almost 10 year old runtime libraries ... on a brand new Windows 10"

1st, won't hurt to manually check Windows Update because there are often updates to the downloaded Microsoft C/C++ runtimes. They are separate from Windows itself, with the version number usually corresponding to the version of development tools used. Genie Timeline's been around for a while, so it wouldn't be surprising if some of the older code that's still used required that version -- most software builds upon older versions rather than replacing everything. Some installation routines always install these runtime files, not giving you any choice, and in fact many people have several copies of the same version files in the C:\Windows folder. While I can't speak for the developers, that *might* be why they chose not to include them.

"Now I'm still waiting for the key..."

Likely Spam Filters... One reason I have more than one email account, each using a different email service provider. It's so common for one or more of the email accounts to block an email with a GOTD software key, that I often register twice, using different emails to increase my odds, and even then I sometimes have to use a 3rd, or even a 4th.

Wyns Luc, Genie Timeline provides "Disaster Recovery" option that helps you to backup your system in a way that you can later restore. You can read more about this "Disaster Recovery" option in the following article: https://gtlwiki.genie9.com/index.php/disaster-recovery/

Ken Kruger, Genie Timeline is designed to backup to any local location (internal, external or network drive). So, you can set Genie Timeline to save the backup to your local "Google Drive" folder.
