To Aaron & TheRollbackFrog, I think I now understand the situation. Although I'm not currently a Rollback Rx user, it's definitely on my...
Just wondering if Aaron or anyone else has done any further testing of AIP. I'm interested in this backup program, but hesitant because of the...
Hey Aaron, Your test results sure seems to speak volumes for AIP so I just downloaded the trial and will give it a go... Thanks for all your...
I get it Brian, but I sure don't see a practical need for it. Like if I ever need to replace an old drive with a new one, chances are that the...
I understand, but I don't see how you can ever restore a backup to a partition that's smaller than the actual image (before compression)! :doubt:
Thanks for the info, but why would that ever be necessary when doing a restore to the very same partition that was imaged in the first place?
Being a noob at this, forgive me when I ask, why/when is that necessary? ???
Hey Aaron, I'm an imaging noobie, looking for the holy grail for backing up. :P 1. Judging from your recent poll and this thread am I...
I want to be sure I understand the differences between hot vs cold imaging. It's a hot backup when I run the program that's installed in Windows,...
Hmm, after reading these enlightening comments, I'd like to change my vote (but I can't). :doubt:
Aaron, I'm pretty much a noob at this and so far I've been doing only hot imaging (so that's the way I voted), but I'd be interested as to why...
Thanks for the clarification about not trying to run IFW at XP's Safe-Mode DOS-prompt Brian. The enthusiasm all of you guys have shown for...
F8 at the start of bootup sounds just like XP's Safe Mode, but how does it find 'imagew.exe' (do you enter the full path)?
That's interesting. The only way to get a boot-time DOS prompt with Windows XP is via Safe Mode. Is there another (quicker) way?
Thanks for the feedback. Using the default settings + 'byte for byte verification' seems to be unanimous ('Windows 7 MBR' wouldn't apply to me as...
Needing an image backup program (for my Windows XP PC), I just downloaded IFW (based on all of the fanfare it gets around here). However I...
