It seems many users like to backup their own data files in their native format. Clearly that makes restore of individual files or folders very...
As you have been told, there are in fact many ways in which you could suddenly and unexpectedly lose your entire PC. Whilst you may be sure of...
Then you are at risk (unless you disconnect your backup drive), because cryptolocker seeks out and effectively destroys all files word, excel,...
It's the 'restore before backup' I am puzzling over. It means, does it not, that you always go back to a state where your internet cache is gone,...
WSfan, I see no reason for damage to HDD to occur. But you might damage your internet security - it depends what it is you are restoring. Is it...
If I remember properly after trying it once, I found it is a bit all-or-nothing. It images all partitions you may have - fine for many people, but...
Many times, an image is the only place to find some important files that have been permanently deleted quite by accident, and maybe a few weeks...
The page file and hibernate file amount to approx 5Gb in my case, which is omitted from both a VSS and a PHYLOCKed image, but my checking whilst...
I'm sorry, that is right. I mistook which image I took first in this test. Here is the log ending - [19/09/2013 12:26:10] Image for Windows...
In IFW I find myself confused as to why a VSS and a PHYLOCK backup are so different, when I try to use identical settings. For VSS I do not set...
Brian, I think we would all like to know what you do then - after all that is equivalent to having a total HDD failure is it not? Surely, after...
Trying to pull the threads together here to answer my original question. It would seem that VSS must take the least time to initiate a backup,...
Excellent post. Made me both smile and wince. Big topic though.....
There's no way any two PC's can be expected to generate the same results over 'time to lock phylock' - just too much difference in hardware,...
Thank you MudCrab for your comments on phylock and VSS which clarifies some of the ways it is possible to interpret what terabyte have written. I...
In the manual - Bottom 2 paragraphs on page 38 (my emphasis) " Exclude Files To Not Backup – If you have configured the VSS FilesNotToBackup...
This is what I just tried. An image of my OS using phylock is 2.5Gb larger than one taken using VSS. Both images appear to contain pagefile.sys...
Using IFW directly in Win7, there are setup options to either use the built-in VSS system to lock the live OS, or to use Terabyte's own Phylock,...
Got it. Thanks Brian - I must have been too slow when I tried that myself
Whilst I have no immediate problem, I am reflecting that at some time I might need to boot Win 7 into safe mode in order to run some anti-malware...
My recent experience with Terabyte Image for Windows is entirely positive. Plus it gives you the full works - image, copy, hot image, cold image,...
Congratulations !!:argh: All because I used a spare, old 256 Mb USB stick. So now you have four things you can tell Terabyte about. (1) before...
Following is the current partition setup. The TbWinRe partition on the second drive works perfectly, boots straight into IFW and tblauncher. What...
no it's strange, but you won't be reproducing the precise conditions. When it does not work, for instance, it is the 3rd volume on the 3rd...
I corrected the end location of the WinRe partition as you instructed. Ok, no warning now. I re-copied my new tbWinRe booting partition into...
