drive snapshot

Hi Jo-Ann

I have a UBCD4Win myself from long ago.
I am now assisting a friend of mine to build its own. He has Drive Snapshot installed on his PC. I tried to find (in the Plugins folder) where 'Snapshot' is located in order to 'activate it', but in vain.
From UBCD4Win -> Plugins -> Discs -> Backup I found 6 tiny programs but Snapshot is missing
I open a new folder (within Plugins) where I copied the content of the 'Networkbootdiskette" from the Program Files/Snapshot but after activating the Builder I am not seeing it.

I used UBCD4Win 3.50 version

Any help. thanks

 

Did you try to copy your registered snapshot.exe into that folder before starting the iso build ?

 

Snapshot.exe does not even need to be on the CD. It can be on a USB flash drive. Boot from the CD and navigate to your flash drive.

 

Thanks for your prompt answer.

1. Is there a file named Snapshot within the Plugins folder of the UBCB4Win program?
2. I opened his Program Files/Snapshot and all what I can see are:
- Drive Snapshot - Diskimaging for WindowsNT
- networkbootdiskette - Snapshot Image file
- help (file folder)
Where is Snapshot.exe located? is this the Diskimaging for WindowsNT (which is opening the GUI of the program?)
3. I will try Bryan K proposal and copy the file Diskimaging for WindowsNT on a USB flash drive and check it after building the UBCD disc

I am using another backup program but I found IMHO quite annoying that DS is not providing a rebootable disc with the program. UBCD itself has also many errors during the buildup of the ISO file

Thanks

 

Yes, this is "Drive Snapshot", only my version is 1.39 and registered. What is yours ?

Regarding rebootable CD, actually you can make one using snapshot distribution and networkbootdiskette.sna, the directions are on Drive snapshot website (http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/Tips.htm and also http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/bootusb.htm for a usb bootable disk)

Yes he has a registered version

Brian:
We copied the file 'Drive Snapshot - Diskimaging for WindowsNT' from the Program Files on a USB flash drive, built a UBCD bootable disc.
After booting from the CD, and opening the flash drive we could see the file which is now called:snapshot.exe
We opened the startup screen easily, as from Windows.

Thanks

 

samy,

Nice work.

I don't know why folks don't try to use the DOS restore disk. I've posted how to use the disk and it is quite simple. For a small image restore, overall, DOS is faster. For a large image restore I would use a BartPE type CD.
