I don't know why people persist in trying to use Backtracker (software which is known to have issues) there a plenty of excellent Disk Image programs out there!
installer, because it works, and it backs up the original out of the box configuration. Just like the backup disks that used to come with computers.
Issues come up with all software, none are perfect over the life of the product. Acronis and the rest have had their bad releases, and slow coming around to providing updates to work with new OS releases.
Not everyone knows how to wrangle backup software to make a bootable image that will restore the out of the box OS back to a new disk. When it works, which for me has been every time, it is quick and easy.
I use Macrium Reflect for full image restorable backups, but I still use Backtracker and keep a bootable USB 3.0 32GB image on a Patriot Stellar, and a Sony 16GB USB 2.0 drive (slow!). It's good to have a couple of backup's using different software - at least 1 will work when you need it.
For the G750 series there aren't any bugs with the current release of Backtracker besides some incompatible USB drives. The G751 newest releases need an updated Backtracker to fit the over 4GB image, hopefully a fix will come soon.
Did Backtracker work for you? If it didn't what was the problem? You G750JW should work fine with Backtracker.
