Introducing AX64 Time Machine - hybrid imaging/snapshot software

Thanks! What do you mean by "take ownership"? I'm not familiar with that one yet.

 

Thanks Isso

 

I have my HDD partitioned into C: and D: where D: is the partition AXTM stores it's backups. Would there be a problem if I temporarily move the backup folder to a different drive and then move it back?

 

No problem, you can move them wherever you want.

Thank you again Isso.

By the way, have you thought about multiple language support?

 

Edit: I unchecked "hide protected operation system files" but still don't see a C:\Recovery folder.

 

Re: Add Backup shemes

I see thanks.

Run the following command:
bcdedit /enum

and post the results.
It will tell you where (partition/folder) the recovery pe is located on your disk.

Hi Pandlouk, Thanks for responding. I typed the above in run and upon clicking OK a window quickly flashed and disappeared. Nothing else. I tried it a few times.

 

Open the command prompt as administrator and then run it.

Panagiotis

 

I did as you instructed, and the message in the window said "The boot configuration data store could not be opened. Access is denied." I always run as administrator so I don't get that.

 

twl845,

Right click Command Prompt, click Run as Administrator.

 

Thanks for the help Brian! I sure am dumb.
I right clicked the command prompt and it worked. Can you please tell me how to post the results from the dos window to Pandlouk's post as he asked me to do? Or I could post it to you if you wish. Thanks

Post 2091 pretty much explains what I'm trying to find out.

 

Try this...

bcdedit /enum > C:\twl845.txt

Copy and paste the text into your next post.

 

Hi all,

This has probably been addressed before, but I haven't come across it, so here goes...

How do I manually merge (consolidate) snapshots?

I know that happens automatically when automatic snapshots are enabled, but I have no need for hourly snaps; once a day works for me.

Thanks and to those in the USA, have a great and safe Memorial Day weekend.

Wendi

 

twl845,

You can see winre.wim from a WinPE boot disk. Look in C:\Recovery.

 

If Brian's command does not work you can right click on the command prompt window" then click "select all" and then press on the keyboard CTRL+C simultaneously (copy shortcut). Then you can paste it in a txt file.

There ya go. From this, how do I get to where I an see if I am using WINRE.win or WINRE.dat, so I can change it to .win if it's dat? Should I see my AX64TM here like I see My Macrium?

 

That's what I'm looking for in the command prompt. I can't find C:\Recovery in Windows Explorer.

 

Try this...

dir c:\recovery /ah /s

Or....

dir c:\recovery /ah /s > C:\winre.txt

 

No that search reveals nothing. Thanks for your efforts.

 

That works in my Win7 and Win8. Again, are you doing this from Run as Administrator?

 

Based on that post I get the impression that I must delete one of my incremental snaps before any merging occurs; is that correct?

Wendi

 

Hi Wendi,

The delete function actually performs a merge of the selected snapshot with the snapshot taken immediately after it. Since the snapshots are incremental, if one was actually "deleted", it would break the chain thus corrupting all snapshots taken after it. I hope this makes sense...
