Hi!
I used drivesnapshot since 2 years a lot and it works very well. The only
thing you have to do:
Partition your backup drive and don't forget to set the C partition active.
You can't boot from the backup drive directly. you must mount the
backup-drive instead of your original drive.
I can garantee, that it will work.
The only thing you have to be carefully ( as with any imager that runs on a
live windows)
The image makes a image wich ic current at the time of start. So if you have
databases like sqlserver, exchange or active directory you may (sometimes)
have a problem, because the result image looks like you have switched off
power.

Ok, here is what I want to do:-
background: Currently have a server running our blackberry server. This
server crashed and the HD fried. Re-build on new HD was extrememly time
consuming (those familiar with BB will know what I'm on about!)
Now its rebuilt and working, I want to take an image of the drive and
restore it to a secondary drive (same make/model/size). Should the active
drive fail, I want to be able to whip it out and put the imaged one in,
then
boot as normal.
Problem: I've been advised to use drive snapshot
http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/ which I have to say is very good however,
after restoring the image to the secondary drive, it will not simply boot
into the O/S.
I understand this is becuase during the imaging, it (like all other
imaging
software) cannot copy system files that are open or in use.
Can anyone provide me with some advice on how I can do what I want to do??
