System image, clone, and restore points

Just for your information.
You are using Windows 7 Enterprise.
I know nothing about Enterprise.
Most Enterprise operating system are controlled by a I.T. Department of one kind or another.
Enterprise cost way to much money for me the get and tinker with.

What I did is in the first post in this thread.
I have no idea whether it will work in Windows Enterprise or not.
I.T. Departments use many methods to backup systems. I doubt they use a Clone of any kind; but then again I have also never worked in a I.T. Department.

What I did. Windows 7/64 Pro.

1. Made a Clone using Macrium Reflect.
2. Booted into Clone
3. Using System Protection, turned on system protection for the Clone.
4. Rebooted into Clone.
5. Completed Microsoft Fixit

Note:
Protection is turned on both the original and Clone drives.
Of course my original Windows 7 had Restore Point. They were Cloned over to the other ssd but would not work until I did as I have stated.

6. Rebooted into Clone.
7. Verified my restore point disc percent was at least 5%. It varies at times.
8. Created a NEW Restore Point

Things work as I want them two.
I will stop now so I can boot into my Clone and see if I can find any more information.

Will be back.
------------------------
Okay I'm back (6:55) booted into my Clone.

Here is what I end up with

"...It DOES apply to cloning as well. Check the ADVANCED options which by default does INTELLIGENT sector copy..." betaupsilon
Thanks for the correction! I did not know that I have to check into Cloning's Advanced menu to see other choices.

That is exactly how mine is and was set.
I presume that is Default because that is the way I left and used Cloning.

Yea, these are the installed defaults, i don't use cloning, so i would not change them.
For imaging, defaults can be changed in the Compression option.

I've always used the default settings, i never used/tested the Forenzic Sector copy option.
I keep several backup images, so the image size is something important to me.

Hi,
I was under the impression people use system imaging as a replacement for windows horrible system restore points
Possibly that is just why I use Reflect system imaging
System protection off Reflect On.

...Both the sector by sector choice and the intelligent copy choice only pertain to imaging, not to cloning...

Actually, at least in the Pro version, one does have a choice between Forensic Sector Cloning and Intelligent Sector Cloning.
