Hi Mudcrab 1. Yes same options for both IFL and IFW restores. 2. I am using WInPe 5.0 in Macrium for both USB and Boot Menu restores. 3. It is WIn 7 SP11 x64 4. Back up images are on other internal drives And yep I may just go ahead and try building the USB key
Okay, built the WInPE on a USB key with Win Pe 5.0 Some times: 1. Restore using Macrium Win Pe and running IFW, from another internal Drive: 25 Minutes 2. Restore using TBWinPE IFW : 22 Minutes. 3. Restore using IFL same settings 12 minutes. and for comparison Macrium Restore from macrium Winpre 5.0 RDR disabled. 15 minutes. p
Pete, IFL is just faster than the other two. On every computer I've used. I've seen IFW take 10 to 30% longer to do a restore. IFD can take 30 to 100% longer to do a restore. I don't understand why it varies so much with different hardware. But your IFW takes twice as long as IFL to do a restore. I haven't seen that much of a difference. I tested an IFW restore in Windows and in TBWinRE and TBWinPE. They took the same time.
Hi Brian Thanks. I've come to the same conclusion, and actually other then slight difference in graphic appearance the restores are identical. Pete
Robin, I've noticed similar and in those circumstances building the TBWinRE on the affected computer usually resolves the issue. The TBWinRE tutorial used to mention this but I can't find the reference today.

OH, I was afraid of that. So far Reflect seems to do that. I wonder if others will let you schedule a JOB and even password protect it?
MSPAN, I was part of the Bvckup2 BETA test effort and am now a primary user of the product. It's simplicity is part of its beauty and for FILE REPLICATION purposes, it's perfect for my needs.
Froggie, isn't BVckup2 mainly a synch program? I looked at the options for backup, and did not see any direct way of scheduling full manual backups. The options I saw were continuously (real time), every X hours or when manually started. I guess you could set up a schedule with a time frame of years. Also, I missed the ability to mix and match drives. If you want to backup data that is scattered around different networked or internal drives according to your own criteria, you need to create individual tasks for each drive. For doing synch of important files, it works very well indeed.
Bvckup2 is a file replicator, not a SYNC program... it is basically unidirectional in its archiving. You mention SCHEDULED Full MANUAL Backups... that makes little sense to me. MANUAL is manual and SCHEDULED is scheduled... they aren't the same If you want to schedule, the schedule may be set up to anything you wish... Continuous, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks or months. If you want to do MANUAL backups, you use the "When manually started" option. Using this option, all you do is select the Backup definition and hit the big GO button at the top of the window. if you need many copies, just modify the backup definition with a new TARGET then run it manually. No, it doesn't keep automatic "versions" of that backup... yet. Soon to come. Indeed a backup definition cannot include multiple volumes... each needs its own SOURCE volume.
Thanks Froggie for that clarification. Sure scheduled and manual are exclusive (doh), what I meant where scheduled full backups. I saw "when manually started" but assumed that any task set up this way would automatically run when you start the program. Given that you have most likely several tasks set up (or many since you cannot go across several drives in one task), I would not want to have all of these autorun because I want one task to be executed - my misunderstanding.
So, it still looks like Macrium is the only one to do images or Directory's with password protection and compression and will let you create a backup Job to rerun when you want.
hi i have windows 10 on my ssd , i have only windows 10 ,the ssd is 250gb , i bought a new ssd 500gb how can i restore the drive image to the new drive? which settings should i enable? thanks
The only option you need to change is to make sure you select the "Align Partitions on 1MB boundaries" in options before the restore of your disk image to the larger SSD.
Almost all suggested options in the TeraByte thread are defaults. The one mentioned by Oliverja isn't a default but it should be selected as few of us use Cylinder alignment anymore for restores. "Align Partitions on 1MB boundaries" is only used for restores and is not needed when creating images. Once you have selected that option it remains selected when you upgrade IFW versions.
