system image

I can't find any info saying whether the backup drive (during a create system image backup) will become a clone of the OS drive, or whether a system image file will be saved on the backup drive. Anyone know? Also, can more than one system image be saved on the backup drive, and can you select...

I have read where you can make a complete system image with Windows 7. I know that it does work with 7 ultimate, but I'm pretty sure that the home premium does not have that capability. I hope that I am wrong because I will be getting the home premium. Does anyone know if I am correct? Thanks.

Windows 7 System Image Windows 7 has a feature called "System Image" to backup and recover the entire system. The image is compressed. You need a separate partition on your hard drive or a secondary hard drive. Windows 7 System Image does NOT create a bootable drive... nor does it include...

So, I'm doing system image backups over a 1Gb/s network. The system being backed up is a Sony notebook (FW285D) with a 500GB hard drive. The backup runs at a steady 4-5MBytes/sec transfer which seems slow (I should note that a scheduled Win7 backup bursts at 24-45MBytes/sec), and as a result the...

Hi, I'm using Win 7 Ultimate and I recently created a system image that I now want to restore it. I have 1 HDD that has been partioned into 2 drives and when I system imaged, it believe it only imaged my C: which has Win 7 on it. Now, I just want to make sure before I restore the image that...

On one of my computers I have the beta of Windows 7 Ultimate. I used it to create a system image and it worked great. I know that with Vista, a system image can only be made with the business edition or higher. I'm wondering if it's the same with Win7. When it's released I will be getting Win7...

Hi, this is my first post on this forum and I hope my explanation of this problem is clear. I am running Wondows 7 Evaluation Copy 7100. When I run the Windows back up it stops after about 20% and I get an error message. This has happened everytime I tried and again this morning. The contents...

Is there a way I can have the "Create system image" done daily. say as a scheduled task? I feel much more comfortable with that instead of the regular backup.

Hello, I am trying to create a System Image, but neither it nor Back up & Restore gives me the option of saving to my second Hard Drive, even though it does appear in Windows Explorer and Disk Management. As a bit of background, my computer has ended up in a strange configuration after...

First. I had a working 64-bit windows 7 install on a Raptor X and all my data on a separate Raptor drive. The system drive was pretty full so I decided to take my two raptors and setup a raid 0 system drive. I used the "Create a system image" wizard and saved the 120GB backup (I did not make a...

Hi all This to me seems a HUGE HUGE vulnerability in some current AV packages. I've got an ISOLATED machine which I use sometimes for specific AV testing. Anyway I decided to "Infect it" deliberately with some spyware and a key stroke trojan and then take an image of the system with...

Hi, I'm trying to move my win7 to a bigger and better hard drive. My original idea was to create a system image and restore it to a different hard drive with windows repair (after all, this is what you would do after a hard disk failure). However, it only allowed me to restore the image to...
