Drive Snapshot

If this is the only system you have, there is a possibility that the restore may break your system. Especially if you try and restore from that system.

Did you try the command I suggested as a test to verify if you can view the image contents?

 

Ok, going to bed now and will continue/try tomorrow.
If you help me to pull this through it would be awesome and i owe you .

 

I have a clone of the entire system, and another Pc.
Why break, what`s the potential problem?

I used the command as is, did not work. The result said that "snapshot" was not a recognized internal or external command, etc. Something like that.

 

A potential problem could be a corrupt backup file or disk errors during restore.

Then change to the directory where snapshot.exe is located and run the command from there.
You get that error message when the snapshot location is not included in the path.

 

Well, the disc is ok, and the image can be checked. Besides that i have all the type of images necessary for the endevour so lets go.

As i said in post #350, i want to restore the whole image so i am not interested in looking at the content.

 

Did you actually run the command I suggested successfully?

If so, you can apply the same principle trying a restore using the restore example from the help. If you are just testing and have no worries losing your system, try doing just the c partition 1st ("d:\DS avbilder\1.sna"). Change to the directory where snapshot is located and run the restore command for that partition.

 

This thread contains the relevant backup/restore scripts. Tested.

 

Yes, enough said about this.

 

Hi Brian

I have looked through the thread and i could not find anything that has to do with what i want to accomplish mentioned in post #338 of mine.
A more automated restore is my aim, so there will be less clicking in the second half of the restore routine with DS. That clicking is pointless if one does it the same way all the time.

Adric suggested a script that i do not know how to design for my Pc.

 

Unless I am mistaken there is a new update to Drive Snapshot; the new version is 1.50.0.1024.

 

Yes there is:
snapshot.exe - 1.50.0.1024
snapshot64.exe - 1.50.0.1025

 

Appreciate the heads up on this newest release.

 

Sumo alerted me today that Drive Snapshot has an update.

 

Yes it has:
snapshot.exe - 1.50.0.1061
snapshot64.exe - 1.50.0.1062

 

Thanks @Mr.X

 

New versions today
snapshot64.exe - 1.50.0.1081
snapshot.exe - 1.50.0.1082

 

Thanks again.

 

For all the Sergei Strelec lovers, there is a new 2023.02.15 version there.

 

Got that one and working great! It's the PE of choice where i use (MY) Drive Snapshot on.

Amazing the speed at which it loads compared to any others in the tool bin. Fastest yet.

 

hi
today is out Drive SnapShot 1.50.0.1093 and 1.50.0.1094

can i ask you if there is a way to mount the backup via gui?
and copy files from the backup to a destination?
or do I need to use the command line like ?

Code:

C:\> SNAPSHOT  X:\C-Drive.sna   Z: -V

thanks

 

Why not just create a shortcut with that command line?

 

Hi
just becase i like to run under a winpe , backup & restore offline

 

Is this what you mean? Once mounted explorer (Map and Explore Virtual Drive) can be launched to access the files.

 

Hi
i have tried but i can't see any virutal drive with the content of the backup
i can't see any drive letters
do you? can you mount and give a letter and use total commander or explorer to browse and copy file to another destination?
i have used explorer and total commander
thanks

 

Has never failed for me.
