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...

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...
