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.
Ok, I've tested again because my last tests were quite some time ago and I don't want to spread misinformation in case something changed.
- MR8, image taken from within Windows: MR8 will remove VSS snapshots so those will not be available in the image file or after an image restore.
- MR8, image taken from outside of Windows (rescue media): MR8 will not exclude VSS snapshots. If you restore from the image, VSS snapshots are still available.
- HBS, image taken from within Windows or outside of Windows (rescue media): If you disable filters, images will include VSS snapshots as well.
- As for ETBH I don't know the details, never used that software.

I don't think anyone would think that of you, don't worry. I was purely interested in why HBS could produce bigger images for you.
Huge fan of HBS myself and I just want to find possible errors or problems to help with the development.
