Why? My understanding is that if I do a restore of a full system image of all partitions, then my computer is restored to the condition it was in at the time the image was taken ... ? My understanding is that then, after the restore, my previous Restore Points are valid, and could be restored.
If I am mistaken, then I would like to know because it means that I am creating unnecessarily large images, which I would presume also affect my ETBH image sizes because it too, by default, is backing up all of those VSS snapshots and page files, hibernation files, etc., unless I create filters to exclude them.
@admin,
Thank you for concurring with my suggestion. I look forward to its implementation in a future release.
I thought my testing was very clear and documented, which is why I presume we are having this discussion. I wish all of the posted testing results by other members would list all of their parameters that could potentially affect backup size and speed.
If either, or both of you, can identify parameters that I have failed to include, I would be happy to incorporate them in my future tests. My sole purpose in testing is to provide, hopefully credible, feedback as to how HBSP performs on my computer with its specs and my backup program defaults, in comparison with MR8 and ETBH.
It is NOT intended to criticize any of the three products. My initial testing revealed to me that HBSP is a very capable imaging program, comparable to those two products. That is quite a compliment to a young company, I think. 👍
Have a great day.
Regards,
Phil
