You could - but why not make the boot partition also the ( potential ) system partition. I do it on all my o/s installations.
Create the boot critical files on each o/s partition.
Then, just choose which to use as the system partition by handing the Active flag to whichever you want.
To include more than one volume, e.g. C and S
WBADMIN START BACKUP -BACKUPTARGET:G: -INCLUDE:C: ,S: -QUIET
You could use a volume name - but it is easier to give the system volume drive letter S.
Thanks. Will give that a try in a bit. I'm not dual booting at this time. Running Vista, et al in VM's.
Hi SIW,
This is not working for me. I used the admin cmd prompt to run. Ran it once with the quiet modifier and it completed (fast) but when I went to the F drive, there was nothing there, hidden or otherwise. Tried it again without the quiet modifier just to see what happened. This is what I got.
Still nothing on F:
I am certaing that if you create a VM product out of a Physical product (ie convert the w7 to a VM), you it will require activation. VM OS and physical OS are two different types of OSs. I don't know if MS has licenses for VM OS. Someting to check i suppose.
I had managed to Virtualise my live dual boot of Xp/W7, and from memory, w7 had non-genuine message comes up soon after i boot into it (or after a few boots, can't remember).
Very weird - works great for me.
It should have used up several gb on F.
Check and see if you have less space on F.
Also check for backup images like this:
wbadmin get versions -backupTarget:f:
Sorry, had to take a break. Space is not the problem. 200GB free. 112 used seems about right.
When I run the check, I get this,
but still nothing on the F drive. If I search Computer, *.vhd, I get only those that already existed???
Will have to play with this some more tomorrow.
