Very cool. I knew I loved this program for a reason!
Yah, it's easy for me to try this, but it's quicker to ask! I want to do a full disk encryption of an Intel SSD (Windows 7) install using...
1) See my post where it doesn't matter. It starts quicker by changing the default wait time. It's not really some program writing to the disk....
You are both right, but it is a bug Brian. It has nothing to do with something actually writing to the HDD for 10 minutes straight. Reducing it...
Quite possibly. That is a function or limitation of those applications, not any backup program.
Yep, that's it.
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...
Yes and Yes. To the OP, find out first what is causing disk activity. Make sure ANY motherboard monitoring tool is shut down, including...
I'm a seasoned user of IFL/IFW and I'm still confused by the options too. I never have to use them, but I still wonder why they exist. Certainly...
Another image format? I think I'll wait and see how this plays out. I don't have the time to test. :doubt:
First release of a new compression algorithm & file type. I think I'll wait for another version.
+1 on TeraByte products. No need to look for anything else IMO.
I consider the speed of the backup (or restore) to be the least important factor in choosing a backup program. It amazes me that people are...
The IFL bootdisk is always up-to-date with the latest SATA and chipset drivers in Linux. For that reason I never use IFD, unless its an old IDE...
IFL/IFW is not user friendly, true. But it is powerful. That comes at a price. My biggest criticism is the menu layout and manual which lists...
IFD is a matter of last resort. I wouldn't use it regularly and IFL is much better in every way. I'd say the only reason to use IFD is for its...
Correct, but many other programs (like Acronis) do file restores so you can size the partition to whatever you want during the restore process,...
I just tried it. It doesn't work as seamlessly.
It sounds like you have to plan ahead though and compact it, right? I know Acronis doesn't have this issue.
It now allows you to resize a partition to something smaller than the original during a restore?
However.... See, I'm not so crazy after all. :)
Umm. they all do that, hence my question.
What criteria are people using to say something is the 'best' ?
I am by no means a Linux guru, but I believe this is a common occurrence if you re-size an EXT3/EXT4 or other Linux partition. They don't behave...
'Got a quick question. I sometimes recommend backup programs to friends and usually its Image for Windows/Linux, but some of my associates are PC...
Separate names with a comma.
