Rollback rx- new users has some questions...

And then restore another image into the mounted snapshot?
I'm actually right now creating a backup with ms-backup from a mounted snapshot...
See what happens.

 

I'm actually wondering...
Mount a snapshot, create a backup with NTBackup (standard Windows and probably most compatible for this idea, who needs sectors? FD-ISR archives are file based too.)
Take an empty snapshot, mount it and restore the backup.
Crazy, hm?

 

since we're all managing 20 partitions, 5 operating systems, and playing with 10 snapshots, when do we actually get to surf porn and talk to girls? hey, i made a new text document,, booted into another snapshot, and it was gone -weeeeeeee snapshot madness!

 

good night man, have a good one

 

Now you mount the previous snapshot and find it there.

 

Well, I just finished this crazy idea.

I decided to use syncback to copy the files to a compressed NTFS folder.
The feature that I wanted is that syncback would delete files in the destination that don't exist in the source, this way making the destination snapshot identical to the exported data.
It works all well, except for one thing: when I switch to the snapshot with the restored data, it appears that no modifications are committed to the snapshot and the snapshot is identical to when I created it.

I also noticed that not all exported data was copied into the destination snapshot, only the differences. Interesting, it makes sense.
The exported data was 1.7 GB, while the imported part was only 125 MB.

So, when the developers make mounted snapshots writable, this procedure would probably work.

 

Software-tester (where did he/she go?) mentioned that it would be possible to make a backup of a mounted EF/RB snapshot, and I was wondering if it was possible to modify a mounted EF/RB snapshot and import that backup.
Had that worked, we would have the export/import feature for EF/RB.

 

eazFix survived my twisted torture with grace. After the test I would simply delete the test snapshot.

 

Hi Wilbertnl i'm still here.

As RB & FDISR are not Permanently installed on my system,it gives me
the Opportunity to test each one for a short time & Compare the good &
bad points of each app. RB is still very fast at jumping from one mode
to another but when it comes to Backups/Archives then FDISR is better.
So ErikAlbert is best to stay with FDISR because in that Department it
is so much more Advanced. PS software tester is Brian is Male

That's what most of us like to do.

 

I got a snapshot of rollback rx & mounted it as a virtual drive.
I then made a backup "image" of this using "drive-snapshot" as
PQDI & TI could not see the virtual drive.Once the image was made
i then mounted that one to see if both were the same.& it was
Now i tried to restore that back to the rollback virtual drive.I got
the blue screen of death. On system reboot i got the message non
system disk or disk error. never mind .So as i had a backup image
of the rollback snapshot i used "drive-snapshot" in dos to restore the "image"
back to the Primary Partition. It worked ok & my system was the same as
the rollback mounted snapshot.!!!....only thing is rollback did not function.
No big deal just reinstalled it again as all the files were there.

It's all good fun.
