Can easy image save all the snapshots?

[Orochi]

Hi there,

I realize that easy image has the ability to be booted of a CD before the Eaz-Fix sub-console is activated in the MBR.

If one was to do a full 1:1 backup of a partition with easy image from a boot CD, will that allow the partition upon restoration have all the snapshots made by Eaz-Fix ?

Thanks...

Unfortunately - No. Easy Image is a bare-metal backup utility; similar to ghost, acronis and the likes. These applications can only backup what they can see. This includes all OS and Data stored within the Windows environment.

EAZ-FIX (and RollBack Rx) write their sector maps directly onto the sectors of the hard drive. These are not stored as files or folders and as such they can not be seen as such. Easy Image can only clone a single snapshot (the current one) or any single snapshot that you select. The image would only contain the contents of the single snapshot. No other snapshot or the EAZFIX application would be coppied onto the image.

Once you restore your Image - you would be required to reinstall the EAZFIX application.

It is for this reason; both applications are independant of each other that both products were separated in RollBack Rx. EAZFIX, in a future version will also not contain the Easy Image applciation, as it too will be offered as a separate application.

Hope this info helps.
