Hello, Are you running any imaging software & Shadow Defender? What imaging software? Whats your setup for imaging software & Shadow Defender to use both effectively & avoid issues? Thank You
When not shadowed Shadow Defender is just bits and bytes on the disk. I've never tried imaging when shadowed as I can see all kinds of issues. So what I do is take a quick incremental before shadowing. That way if there is any issue coming out, I am prepared.
On my Vista I'm using SD and Keriver 1-Click...both are on demand and both are used for different actions and effects. So...I've never suffered issues which could be the result of some incompatibility between them.
I use EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation. I will use Shadow Defender on-demand only. I backup C System Partition & backup is on D Data Partition. Suppose, in Shadow Defender, I exclude EaseUS backup folder on D Partition. If I am running Shadow Defender And Todo backup starts, backup will be created successfully? Any other probs, etc...? Or If I disable scheduled backup And run Shadow Defender & after doing the stuffs, restart system And enable scheduled backup --- Is this better & no probs?
All I can say is be careful. Yes you should disable imaging or avoid when it's running. I wouldn't image in shadowmode. Have no clue what might happen.
Peter2150, I will try "disable scheduled backup And run Shadow Defender & after doing the stuffs, restart system And enable scheduled backup" & see... Thank You
I dont know the prob was due to Shadow Defender or not But here is what happened... I installed Shadow Defender & restarted the system & disabled "start with windows". I didn't used Shadow Defender at all. I installed Todo Workstation. On 3rd system start...I was browsing & got blue screen mentioned sys.io or system.io or something like this error. I restarted the system & got boot config data missing or error. I tried Todo USB recovery & entered Todo recovery But then decided to use Win 10 USB. I tried Win 10 USB & selected "startup repair" & it solved the issue.
Well I can't speak to anything other then Win 7 and Macrium. But I have successfuly imaged while shadowed with Macrium and then exited SD. Restoring the image worked and produced the results expected.
I didn't even used Shadow Defender, only installed & unticked "start with windows" option. Dont know the prob was due to SD or not? Anyway, uninstalled SD now.
