I DO expect my old tasks to work! I mean, if I set a schedule to run a task which runs a FULL followed by an INC of a drive, but the drive geometry changes in-between, the software should be "smart enough" to run another FULL instead of the INC so that the backup imaging process is not halted and backups continue. That seems obvious to me. Basic, even, if the software is designed for unattended schedule imaging backups. As for tracking geometry changes with partitions and performing the same type of calculations? That's icing on the cake, at least for me. I only take full drive images when running automated imaging backups.

A way to allow backups to continue if there are structure changes without user intervention is to create a new Full instead of the incremental or differential which will take into consideration the structure and permit subsequent incremental and differentials to run. Hope I understood this correctly.
It sounds to me like you understand, at least as I do.
