Image For Windows

You said you don't use a UFD. Do you use BootWim or something else?

 

So how do you restore then? I mean, you can't do hot restores within Windows. You have to have some sort of restore disc.

 

I use BOOTWIM.

 

So, if you use Bootwin that has to be use used the builder. I'm very confused.

 

I copy tbwinre to a folder and use BOOTWIM.

 

I like BootWim.

You can do auto backups/restores.

 

I usually copy this folder...

C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\tbwinre

...to somewhere in the D: drive. Root is easy. Makes the batch file shorter.

 

Still confused. You said you never built tbwinre, yet you have backup wims, and you do restores yet you never built tbwinre. On the off chance your using a wim you didn't build, where did you get it from? I'm just trying to make sense of wtf is going on.

Also, wouldn't just adding a bcd entry be easier?

 

I don't have it either.

 

I prefer it on the root of D: drive, but a couple of computers wouldn't work there, so I had to use the root of C: drive. But still working well.

 

I went to do a Full Backup with IFW. However, I got this warning which I had never seen before:





Edit: Added 2nd image, which shows the folder is off and greyed out.

 

Do you use BootWim solely for restores?
IFW in Windows is easier for backups. But it's ok to use BootWim for backups if you feel like it. I use IFL for backups occasionally. If I feel like it. But IFL is my favourite for restores. I initiate IFL restores from a Windows script so I don't have to click through an IFL GUI menu.

When we are reporting backup and restore times we should take into account the time taken to click through the GUI menu and also the reboot time if you are performing a cold backup/restore. The reboot time is from when you leave Windows until you return to Windows. That's my opinion anyway.
Cold backups aren't done often now.

 

Tarnak, I haven't seen that warning either. Check your Protected Folders status.

 

Windows System Folders are protected by default...

I have added a 2nd image explains more, hopefully. I have been trialing ESET anti-virus, and it has ended. So, that might be why I am seeing this message for the first time.

 

Is "Protected Folders" the same as Controlled Folders? I am confused.

 

I think so. I tried it once, for a short while.

 

Are you referring to post where I mention ESET, as the possible cause of seeing the warning message?

 

In what folder were you sending the image? Path?

 

I haven't used ESET.
I was referring to Protected Folders.

 

I save my Backups to a USB drive? Is that what you mean? I am always confused when if come to backups.

 

My current state:

 

USB HD should be ok. Restart the computer and try the backup again.

 

Will do, but I doubt anything will change. Back shortly.

 

Do you still have ESET? Just interested.
