Image For Windows

Hadron,

To add /min you need a more detailed batch file.

You can try this batch file if you like. Paste the code into a New Text Document.txt. Then do this, File, Save As, hadron.cmd.

Code:

@echo off

if not defined RunTask set RunTask=1 & start "CC, IFW base" /min %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /c "%0" & goto :EOF

set path=C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraByte Unlimited\Image for Windows\V2

CD /d D:\SystemBackup\Image_for_Windows

:: +++++++++  Create full image backup  +++++++++

start /min /wait imagew64.exe /b /uy /um /d:w0 /f:win81 /comp:14

if not %errorlevel% == 0 (
   echo %date% %time% >> fail.log
   echo imagew64 errorlevel is %errorlevel% >> fail.log
   echo. >> fail.log
   exit
)

You can view and edit the code by Right click on hadron.cmd , Edit.
To run, Right click on hadron.cmd , Run as administrator. It will create win81.TBI in D:\SystemBackup\Image_for_Windows

 

I just added /min to the end of the Argument. It is working.
It would be good if it could work in the tray like Reflect.
But I doubt if that can be done.

 

On the Schedule tab, did you click New?

 

Yes.

I am thinking what has to happen when you create a scheduled task in the IFW GUI is that you need to go through and run the backup for some strange reason.

In case I wasn't clear, my scheduled task is working fine and listed in Task Scheduler. It just doesn't appear in the IFW Scheduled Tasks tab.

 

If you have CCleaner installed you can add this line after the
if not defined RunTask .........
line.

Code:

"C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner64.exe" /auto

 

Yes, I have CCleaner. What does that do?

 

I found out what causes it.
As soon as I change the "Configured To: to Windows 8.1, it disappears. Not a worry for me.

 

As you said in Post #194, "Run whether user is logged on or not" does it too.

 

Deletes temp files, etc so they aren't backed up. You get smaller images.

 

Thank you.

 

Is this caused when backing up outside of Windows or restoring?

 

Could be either. Any partition's file system that's left in a "mounted/running" state could be affected. This could be the partition the backup image is saved on or any other partition. You don't even have to do a back up or restore procedure -- just booting up to something else could cause corruption if anything is changed on any partitions.

Safer to just turn it off. On my systems, I don't even notice any speed increase from it so it's not even useful for its purpose. I suppose it might help more if not using a SSD, but I wouldn't use it even then due to the risks.

 

Thanks for that information, MudCrab.

And I have found it doesn't make any difference to my boot up speed on my computer either, so I have disabled Fast Startup on all our computers.
And if it does, what's a few seconds?

 

Thanks for the /min switch, guys.

hi brian
can i with BIBM ubuntu 14.04 grub?
how can i do it?

thanks

 

mantra,

Do you want to use Ubuntu 14.04 with BIBM?

Make sure grub is installed to the partition boot sector and not to the MBR. No problems that way.

 

Hi Brian
sorry for my poor english , i want to clean the grub boot sectors

thanks Brian

 

mantra,

So you already have Ubuntu installed?

Is BIBM installed?

Is BIBM not working due to grub being installed to the MBR?

 

Hi Brian
yes i have ubuntu installed
no bibm is not installed ,i use only on my usb stick
now i deleted the ubuntu partition and formatted in ntfs
but grub loader is still in my hard disk
how can i clean the grub (mbr)?

thanks

 

mantra,

Try this. Boot from your BIBM UFD, Partition Work, select Drive 0, View MBR, Win7 MBR, OK, Apply, etc.

Did that work?

Edit... The UFD might be Drive 0. Select the drive that has grub.

 

hi
yes seems to work,thanks Brian
but is no way to clean the mbr , i mean the boot code only without a w7 mbr?

 

The grub MBR has been replaced with a Standard Win7 MBR. You can use a WinXP MBR if you like but I wouldn't.

What you have done is written new boot code (the LBA-0 grub code is gone) but the Disk Signature and Partition Table are unchanged. You must have boot code. When Windows 7 or 8 is installed to an empty HD, Win7 boot code is written.

 

thanks Brian
Brian just out of curiosity an image of a single ssd can be used to restore 2 ssd in raid , to gain the best speed?

i know you use the intel ssd , do u think are the best? seems they are the most expansive and slow

 

mantra,

I don't use RAID so I can't answer your question but I think you are correct. I just happened to buy Intel SSDs. I don't know if they are better than other brands.

 

hi
would be cool to watch a test about 2 ssd in rad ,should gain 1gb at second?

thanks Brian
