TeraByte Product Release Thread

Some more info...

1. From Terabyte Unlimited about using the encryption: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=462

2. From Terabyte Unlimited on VSS:

"•Use Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy service (VSS) instead of PHYLock. To do this, enable the Use VSS When Available option in Image for Windows (this doesn't require a reboot). You must be running Windows 2003 or later."

 

thanks!
but you use the service phylock don't you ,more safe then vss

 

I do, yes...I have talked to support about it before (Phylock vs. VSS) and Phylock seems more stable than VSS for most people. I would GUESS most people on here using IFW are using Phylock as well. If I am wrong, I am sure we'll hear about it.

 

it still says 2.66 on home page but Version 2.68 was made available on December 26, 2011

whats the difference between the normal installer and the one labelled gui?

 

the one labelled gui is that it included a GUI version of IFD

WOW, IFL now has a GUI version too

 

IFL GUI. I'm stunned by the change. It has a dock incorporating

IFL
OSDTool
Copy P2V
TBOSDT
TBIView
net1
mnt
Editor
Midnight Commander
True Crypt
Terminal

Although I was quite happy with the keyboard type IFL, the new IFL is impressive.

Although of geek value, IFL is the only app I know that can do an automated restore between two wireless NIC computers where the image is stored on the remote computer. Doing it with wired NIC computers is easier.

 

The new IFL GUI is quite impressive. It works on all of my Home PC's except one.

Terabyte Support provided a "work-around" so that I can get to the Linux Desktop. See the above link for details.

 

For those interested in encryption. IFL can restore an image that is still in a True Crypt container. The image doesn't have to be removed from the container in Windows before using IFL.

 

The best just keeps getting better.

 

Backup To/Select File Access Method: When would you select the File (OS) option rather than File (Direct) option?

In the past I have always used either File (Direct) or File (CD/DVD).

 

Use File (OS) when you need to access the booted Linux file system. For example, when you have mounted a network share to /tbu/net1 and want to save the backup image there. The same is true for accessing partitions mounted to the Linux file system (like /tbu/mnt1).

 

TheKid7,

A follow up to MudCrab's post. Here is an example of using File (OS).

IFL GUI has a problem when restoring an image,the time is an hour behind.
even the gui sometimes show an hour behind ot 12 or 24 hour format.

 

acuariano,

I checked an IFL CD on two computers. The GUI time was correct on both and the file times are in GMT as you know and they were correct on both computers. Strange. Anyone else notice a time issue?

I had IFL installed to the HD on one of the above computers and the times were correct when IFL booted. IFL boots quickly from the HD.

 

i made an iso [GUI] and wrote it to a cd
and the time was incorrect..

 

i use drive image for windows 2.6
can't find the changelog between 2.6 and 2.8
and i use the active winpe to backup and restore
can it backup and restore truecrypt or DiskCryptor?
should i use special setting to backup and restore?

ps it's almost off topic
but reading http://www.privacylover.com/encryption/analysis-is-there-a-backdoor-in-truecrypt-is-truecrypt-a-cia-honeypot/ therer are out many disk cryptors free and paid

can backup and restore them?

cheers
thanks

 

IFL has True Crypt if you want to use it. I don't use True Crypt to store images.

 

do you mean only image for linux is able to make an image and restore it?
image for windows can't do it?
thanks

 

True Crypt is just an add on for IFL. You can use True Crypt or not. See Message #81 for the other add ons.

 

Version 2.69 - February 4, 2012
Changed optical drive access to limit retries on Unit Attention to prevent hang caused by virtual (software based) CD drives reporting incorrect sense codes for unsupported commands.
Changed PHYLock to prevent possible dead-lock under certain conditions.
Changed byte-for-byte validation to not abort when read-errors occur (attempts validating across bad sectors).
Allow /email option to use a cached password saved with the /login option.
TBIView 4.27 added option to Continue on Error.
Other Misc.

 

And, TeraByte OSD Tool has now become TeraByte OSD Tool Suite Pro

Best regards,

KOR!

 

There is also TeraByte OS Deployment Tool Suite Pro for BootIt. It adds partitioning to the Tool.

For example, the following script will remove the SRP (System Reserved Partition) from a Win7 computer...

mount 1: 3 0x01
mount 2: 3 0x02
copy 1:Boot\* 2:Boot\ /s
copy 1:bootmgr 2:
umount 1:
del partition 3 0x01
umount 2:
set part active 3 0x02
slide 3 0x02 0 /a=2048
resize 3 0x02 /a=2048
reboot

The booting files are copied from the SRP to the Win7 partition
The SRP is deleted
Win7 partition is set Active
Win7 is slid to remove the 100 MB of unallocated space preceding the partition
Win7 is resized to remove the 100 MB of unallocated space following the partition

 

Thanks! Sounds like some decent fixes.

 

I like the new image for linux GUI. only tryed it the other day. ive used image for linux and image for windows for years now and it hasnt let me down.
im glad no bloat is ever added. btw i use VSS and not phylock. i find that phylock takes longer to be ready.
