brink,
im sorry if you answered this already but i had a problem with this backup before and gave up and used macrium. i want to give windows 7 back up another go..
on my secondary hard drive i created a partition thats 30GB, i figured that was enough for me if i only do monthly backups and just delete the old one after a new backup was done. i successful completely a backup and its only 2.11GB in size.
if i had a complete hard drive failure on my primary hard drive that holds my C drive and 100MB of system reserved. will these backups do anything for me. like would i be able to reload windows 7 to the point in which that backup was created on a secondary drive.
if not as i suspect, then whats the point? i see something about a system image? thats probably something i wanna do. i skip that step when i was doing the backup..
looks like i have to create a system image backup, is there no compression to this system image backup, my C drive has about 40GB being used and for the system image backup it needs that amount of space.. i guess its physically copying everything to that image.. how would this ever be put on a CD or DVD then..
