    I dont know, I like the files there, I also have the folders (as backup) on another drive :)
    The snapshot is now only 12+ gig, but still took an hour to do. BUT thanks to EVERYONES help I am in business and it looks great. I now have the primary, secondary and a brand new TI image :)

    How big is an archive of a snapshot? I am unsure of how to create an archive, is it just a export of the snapshot?

    Thanks again to ALL of you!

    Hi Nixie.

    Archive's are compressed somewhat. To create an archive, first go into Tools>Options>archives, and select an archive location. Preferably on another disk. Once done, just select copy/update. Your source probably is your primary target would be a new archive. Intial time again might be a bit long. After that updates are fast.

    nixie, you won't regret it. It's possibly one on the best and most useful pieces of software I have.:)

    The more I think about it, the more I like it... I love playing around..

    I was playing with Greenborder Pro, it really messed my system up. I used XP restore and all was fine. Then I tried again using some registry modifications listed on their site. Same result... I went to restore again and the system froze during restore. I finally after a LONG time had to hard boot. THEN, all my restore points were corrupted and unusable. I was able to kill the greenborder process on boot and get it uninstalled finally and the system seems to be running normally.... Then I read about FD-ISR here, you can see why I wanted to learn about it right away. Just keeping my fingers crossed that my system is allright, since I had no images (VERY BAD) at this time from TI!

    Thanks!

    You only have to read all these posts with problems at Wilders and the knowledge it requires to fix them, which are solved in no time by FDISR and without needing all that knowledge.
    FDISR is a time-saver in many ways and time is money.
