    Transfering backup


    I want to transfer the original state of my installation to an external drive and make a current backup to take its place on my HD.I wish to know which files I need to transfer, I have 3 in my present New Volume backup partition being DELL-PC, WindowsImageBackup and MediaID.bin,,,,I was wondering if I need to copy all three files/folders before overwriting my new backup

    Alteratively if you have plenty of space you can just rename WindowsImageBackup to something else. You would have to rename it back before a restore.
