Clone + Win. Ia. Bkup
Hi, its me again.
So I used Macrium to create clone and W7 SystemImage on my two partitions-- 2 and 3 as follows below ---on ext. HD.
1) local disk (C:)
2) Volume #3(F:)
3) Local Disk(G:)
The Macrium clone has exactly same folders as my C disk.
The W7 created WindowsImageBackup has;
"Backup" folder of EXML type
"Catalog" folder
" SPP Metadata Cache" folder.
My questions are, how, when do either of these of any use to me?
My concern here is, that since I cannot boot from either of ext. partitions, if my PC HD goes bad, of what use are this two kinds of backup information?
I also have originaly created restore CD/DVD disk and reapir CD/DVD disk.
I guess if had to get a new HD, and put new W7 on it, I then would find all the info I need, on either the clone or WImageBkup partitions to put on my new HD.
I've probably answered my own questions here. More important, maybe how to do regular partial backup of just some of my most important folders should my internal HD go bad or whatever.
Macrium probably will explain how to do incremtental cloning of some foldwers. Not sure System Imaging does that, and that may be why some use Macrium to create a system of disk image. I dunno
