Smart Backup Default

[Epictetus]

Epictetus, that's fine. All the MS monkeying around with the RE wim in your configuration only affects total OS partition storage, not the separate Recovery Partition which never seems to be big enough. Your way works just as well...

Thanks Froggie - I guessed so.

On a related issue, do you enable Smart Backup or not? I don't understand how that matters if all one ever does is manual full backups?

Again, in your case (all FULL backups), no difference at all. If will matter if you're doing DISK backups and a new partition is added between backups... but that's the only case.

That is just what I was thinking. But great to have your expert thoughts too.

Another exception is when you manually adjust the geometry of certain partitions on the disk. We recommend checking this option, as you won't lose anything.

More good advice - thanks. Other than the one time, some time back, that I deleted the recovery partition and absorbed it in to C, I don't ever manually adjust the geometry of partitions when doing my backups. But I do have Smart Backup checked anyway.

Best wishes for the success of HBS paid.
