I use Cerberus for my Galaxy S4 and it seems to work fairly well including extra stuff like taking a picture of my mug and emailing it to me whenever I get my login on the device wrong.

You don't need those apps anymore 
Sign into your Google account (same as your phone) from any other machine, open a browser, and search on Google for

That's really rather cool. I don't ever have location stuff turned on (I'm too paranoid) but I'm forever losing it at home when it's on silent so the ring-out feature is mega-useful.

In the mid-80s, I worked with someone that used mechanical pencils. Since this was long before the 'Find My xxx' apps, he attached a string of rubber bands to his pencil with other end tied to his lab code pocket.
Maybe you could so the same? 8)

All of those devices require others with the same device to have walked within a certain distance of yours. I can't recall the name but it is group- or community- something or other. Not much of a help when your phone is rarely in a crowded area.

Real men just work straight off the deployment server. A single copy that's on production.

Used to do that some 12-15 years ago when I programmed classic ASP. Made changes and developed new features directly in prod. Never had any problems. That version control shite is highly overrated!

Sort of did that once for a client. Added a few new features on my laptop that the customer requested the night before at 3AM and they asked to put it on their production server. My PM asked if I would stake my job on it working correctly. I did. One very minor bug that I was aware of, but could not fix at 3AM the day I changed it since I had to leave to the airport at 5AM.

No thanks...that's what I had used for years, but I'm a convert.
I'm not a dedicated Git user, but if I had to choose between Git and maintaining multiple copies of folders, I'd learn Git.
(right now, TFS Express is free and "good enough for me" as a home user, and installation/learning curve matches the level of dedication I'm willing to put towards it)

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

IIRC, @OriginalGriff made several posts here about how good AOMEI Backupper[^] is.
I am the - hobby - responsible of the computers & server of the local school, and we have to change the server this year (win2003 ... !!). The company doing it wants to use StorageCraft as a backupper, but the sw is almost as expensive as the server itself 
AOMEI seems to be an alternative, but I only know it from its good reviews here, which were probably also only based on a home version, not the server one.
Any recommendation/ideas ?

I wasn't particularly happy with AOMEI, partly because of the aesthetics of the UI which many of these backup programs seem to suffer from -- as I ranted about a week or two ago, the UI's seem to be designed for centennials with cataracts, obscure icons that didn't even have hover-over tooltips to figure out what they did, and of course the clincher was that it simply stopped working without any way to diagnose the problem or correct it, at least that I could find. On a positive note, I was pleased how easy it was to explore the backup repo and view/select individual files.
Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free was recommended and I find the UI and UX a much better experience for my own tastes. It just "feels" more solid -- I know, a totally subjective experience. For example, I can easily set up schedules for my two drives at different times and when the backup is about to start, a pop appears that informs me the backup is about to start, the popup stays on the screen for 30 seconds (or something like that) then goes away, and during that time I can cancel the backup if I want. It's little things like that that I appreciate, where Macrium balances being informative and giving me control but also being unobtrusive.
Hope that helps!

You have my vote for Macrium!

Thanks Marc, great feedback.
My use case would be to back-up the complete server system - including the OS, e.g. if the server crashes, I write back the image on the fixed server, and voilà. I suppose this requires their Server version... I suppose you are using the free version you have linked to ?
