    Using an external usb hd for backup image plus?


    I bought a 500GB. external usb drive and backed up a restore image on it. My question is, can I also store other data on this drive also? Thanks! :)

    Hello p5200,

    Yes, you sure could if you like. :)

    Just be sure not to rename or move the WindowsImageBackup folder that contains the image.
