Drive Snapshot on different hardware...

Curious if any of the DS users on here have restored an image on completely new hardware, and if so, how successful was it? I read the link on the website and it seems cut and dry (http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/hardware.htm), but with most things some real world experience is helpful. I might have a need to do this soon, which is why I am asking. Thanks!

 

napoleon1815,

Quiet thread.

Please let us know when you are ready to restore to different hardware.

 

Thanks...I might be doing this next week, so I'll let you know via this thread. Curious if there were any bumps in the road to watch out for that might not be documented. Thanks for checking in!

 

I haven't tried it with DS but I made some comments about restoring to different hardware in this thread...

Hi nap,

I've never attempted that with DS, but (with Brian's help in the thread he references above) I did just that (successfully) this past Sunday using IFW + the OSD Tool.

I would be very interested in finding out if you are successful with DS.

napoleon1815,

I wasn't trying to talk you out of using DS for this procedure. Maybe there are instructions in that thread that could assist. Like Aaron, I'd be most interested to hear how using DS works out.

 

i am sure ds doesn't otherwise author will mention that in the docs

 

No problem...I'll let you all know how it goes and document as much as I can on this thread to assist anyone else. Thanks!

 

It's mentioned here: http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/hardware.htm

 

According to DS' major release change history this feature was 'enhanced' (introduced?) with v1.40 last year:
