  • Target/Backup partition of "DriveImage.exe" partially filled - Any problems ?

    From thohein@thohein@redseven.de (Thomas Heinrich) to microsoft.public.win2000.general,alt.os.windows2000,comp.os.ms-windows.misc on Sunday, August 03, 2003 09:42:42

    I am thinking about using DriveImage as a tool to backup my system partition (C:)
    I am planning to save the created image on the NTFS partition D:

    In general there would be enough space on this partition to place the
    image on this partition beside the other stuff.
    But: Need DriveImage a completely free/unused partition when it saves the image?
    Does DriveImage - in other words - overwrite the contents of a specified
    backup partition (here: D:) while it is saving the image?

    Is NTFS as file structure of the backup partition a problem ?

    Thx in advance
    Thomas

    DriveImage can create a file image copy of your drive. When you restore the image it extracts the drive image and re-writes it back to whatever
    destination you chose.
