TeraByte Product Release Thread

It can but I can't recall a script.

 

ok
sadlly i guess it's lost in this thread

 

To convert a cylinder aligned partition to a 2048 sector aligned partition have "Align on 2048 sectors" in BIBM settings. Resize the partition 3 MB smaller. Slide the partition 2 MB. Resize the partition to the maximum size (should be 1 MB larger).

 

ok

may i ? according to https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=2253313&postcount=588 where is tha batch file?

and -> https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=2253423&postcount=593

seeing they are many xp parition style , what setting should i have in bibm for xp compatibility?

can't find the settings

thanks a lot

 

That batch file is for removing a SRP. It has nothing to do with 2048 sector alignment.

Edit.....My memory is not so good. It does handle 2048 sector alignment.

list hd 3
interactive
open fs 1: 3 0x01
open fs 2: 3 0x02
copy 1:Boot\* 2:Boot\ /s
copy 1:bootmgr 2:
close fs 1:
del partition 3 0x01
close fs 2:
set part active 3 0x02
slide 3 0x02 0 /a=2048
resize 3 0x02 /a=2048
reboot

 

It's "Align on Cylinder" in Settings, Global Geometry and Alignment.

 

thanks Brian
may i ask you ? i did not how merge 2 partitions

i read the manual and homepage , there is slice feature but should be slip no?
i mean i used google to translate it
sadly i guess it's only in enlish image for windows has different languages

 

mantra,

I recall Partition Magic has a Merge function and it was particularly likely to cause problems. BIBM doesn't have a Merge function. What do you want to achieve?

 

hi
sorry for the delay

merge 2 partitions , join 2 data partitions in 1 partition

may i ask a question about the last image for windows/linux version ?

can it restore an image to a larger or smaller partition? without creating before the image with compact feature

i know i asked the same question sometime ago , but maybe the new version can handle it

thanks Brian

 

OK. Forget Merge. Too many people have lost data. Backup your data from one partition, delete the partition, resize the remaining partition, restore your data.

Maybe. This explains what is involved. Nothing has changed with the latest version as the TeraByte apps do sector based restores.

Don't be concerned about restoring into a smaller partition. It is very easy.

 

thanks Brian

As far as I am aware, if your IFL image was created with a properly aligned partition already, 2048 sector aligned, even if that is disabled within IFL options by default, the restore should be aligned just fine in my experience.

Unless I am missing something, if the imaged partition is already aligned, and you image with IFL, it will restore exactly as imaged with or without 2048 sector aligned option being selected.

We'll see what Brian or others have to add to this. I use IFL pretty much exclusively, and all my partitions are aligned, and image restoration is aligned even if I do not set that option within IFL upon restoring. I have checked this with BIBM and OS part starts at sector 2048.

EDIT: In my case, I am talking about an HDD, not SSD. SSD of course has improved performance when partitions are aligned properly, and if imaged properly aligned, they should restore aligned unless SSD restores are somehow different. Best to hear from Brian, I am most likely missing something.

Hope this helps

mantra,

Using IFW or IFL, start the Backup (Full) menu, select the OS partition, click Information. What are the two numbers following LBA:

 

I've been having an issue with IFL for awhile now, but it finally got to me. I tend to backup my Windows box through a boot disk of IFL.

When it creates the file on my second hard drive (backup first drive image to a second HDD file), it puts permissions on the file that don't allow me to copy it to another share without making some changes. It's stuck as an "admin" file outside of my user's permissions. SOrry...not a Windows guy. I'm not quite sure how to describe it.

All other files in that folder, on that drive, etc are fine. It's only the way IFL makes the image file that seems to have some restrictions. I understand it is creating a file on my NTFS drive outside of Windows' normal habitat but how can I make it behave better?

 

valnar,

It has never happened to me but...

Yep, that's it.

 

You could create a CMD script and set it up to run when you log into Windows.

/wco switch

Use this option when restoring or copying to write only the changed sectors to the target drive (target will be read to compare). Useful in cases where a large portion of the data is the same and it’s desirable to reduce wear on the target drive (e.g. restoring image to SSD drive).

Default if omitted: Image for Windows will write all restored or copied sectors normally.

 

Why haven't they added a global ini option for it and/or an option in the restore settings of the gui/cui?

Hi ,
I have a question :
If I backup my current PC windows (8 Pro X64) & then restore it to my laptop (6190se) with Image To Linux , Do I need to activate windows or any other softwares that I had in my PC ?

 

Quite possibly. That is a function or limitation of those applications, not any backup program.

 

BootIt Bare Metal Question:

If you want to overwrite the MBR of a Windows Operating System for whatever reason (Malware Infection, MBR Corruption, etc.), would the "Std MBR" option make a Windows PC bootable? This questions is for all of the following Windows Operating Systems: Windows XP series and Windows Server (2003 through the latest version) series. Is the "Std MBR" 'basically' the same MBR code for all of the listed Windows Operating Systems?
