Hello, An update was released today to version 2.97c: Homepage: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/index.htm Downloads: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-image-for-windows.htm Upgrade History: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/upgradehist-image-for-windows.htm
an oddity, after upgrading one of my systems from win 7 to win 10 ifw wants me to re-register with my key again when opening it for the first time after the upgrade
Hi i have only full whole disk images can i restore only the windows system reserved partition from an old backup ? thanks
Yes. The SRP can be the only partition restored from your Entire Drive image. For example, a Win8 or Win10 Entire Drive image of a UEFI system contains images of 4 partitions. You can restore 1, 2, 3 or 4 of these partitions.
hi Brian but for example i want to restore The SRP of my w8.1 only (from a backup of 6 month ago), and keep the w8.1 partition intact

Other potential changes, updates and enhancements. @Brian K may i ask you a question ? does image for windows or linux change the disk ID after or during the restore process like macrium reflex ? thanks
Are you referring to volumeid? You can change it back, if you have some problems, using this tool: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897436.aspx
mantra, With the TeraByte apps restoring to the same drive... When you restore a partition image and don't restore the First Track the Disk Signature (Disk ID) isn't changed. When you restore a partition image and restore the First Track the Disk Signature isn't changed. When you restore an Entire Drive image the Disk Signature isn't changed. You can manually change the Disk Signature if there is a special need...
Hi i don't know Minimalist , macrium reflex shows DISK ID hi Brian thanks a lot in short does image for windows changethe disk signature (disk id ) only if i restore an entire drive to a brand new drive?
No, the Disk Signature isn't changed with an Entire Drive Restore if you restore the image to a new HD which has replaced a failed HD. The Disk Signature is 4 bytes in LBA-0 beginning at 0x1B8
new Ver of acronis true image 2016 has been released http://dl.acronis.com/s/AcronisTrueImage2016.exe changelog not yet updated regards
thanks Brian ! i have asked the same question in the macrium reflex discussion , because seems that macrium changes it at every restore https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/macrium-reflect.356309/page-104#post-2521289
mantra, IFW can use the Disk Signature to identify drives for backup and restore purposes. For example, the first partition on the HD from post #488 would be... #0x1623AB41@0x1 This is useful in situations where Windows sees a drive as HD1 and the BIOS sees it as HD0.
There seems to be something wrong with v2.97e. I have "Use VSS When Available" selected, but it is still trying to use PHYLock (which never works). I have tried rebooting, but it keeps going to the useless PHYLock.
Hadron, In PHYLock Settings do you have "Disable Usage" selected? If it is selected I'd uninstall PHYLock.
Those menus have changed. Make sure you have 5 ticks in VSS Settings and a tick in Use Component Mode.
