| 1322165 | 2013-01-14 01:03:00 | You could try shadow protect for desktop, does image and incremental, you can also boot from the backup image!Thanks. I will have a look at that, but I have purchased Active@DiskImage and will see how it goes. |

| 1322166 | 2013-01-14 02:07:00 | I am having second thoughts about doing Incremental backups and just doing the same as you. Is there any advantage in doing Incremental backups?. Not that I can see. It takes just about the same time to run either in my experience. I run a full image each Friday and also if I am making a major change to anything on my system. ie. I installed W8 Pro found problems getting drivers for my Win TV card and reinstalled the W7 image putting everything back how it was. I made an image of my W8 install so I can easily go back to it in the future should I wish to. |

| 1322167 | 2013-01-14 02:23:00 | That is how I feel about it also. Funnily enough I had thoughts about just doing a full backup on a Friday. I am not going to worry about Incremental backups. Keep things simple. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1322168 | 2013-01-16 01:25:00 | Wainuitech, I am going to try the Bootable Disk that has been made with Active. I am not quite sure what I should expect. When/If you get a spare moment any tips would be welcome. | Pato (2463) | ||

When/If you get a spare moment any tips would be welcome. Put your bootable disk in the drive. Restart your PC. It will/should now boot from the bootable disk(watch on startup you may have to press a key to boot from the CD). Your screen will show a bar and text telling you it is loading up Active@. Takes a little time to complete and when it does you will see the Active@ menu page. You can now carry out whatever you wish with Active@. When you have finished take out the bootable disk and restart your machine and it will start up as normal. |

| 1322171 | 2013-01-16 02:11:00 | Howdy -- I can quickly rip out some instructions -- My 1.30 Appointment has changed to later, so got a few minutes: I'm doing this from the installed Program but the Bootable CD is exactly the same. The Image is one from a customers backup, so ignore any names you see in the Pictures. Plug in the External Drive that has the backup. Boot from Active@ Boot CD. Select Image to Disk 4670 Click next Browse to location of Backup, select it 4671 Click next Put a tick in the DISK # box, the remainder of the boxes will automatically tick if you dont have all the boxes ticked you wont be putting back all the backup/partitions Untick the box bottom Left hand corner that says Keep Original Size and Location of Partitions. 4672 Click next Select the Hard Drive on the PC that you want to put the image back to. The other drive shown is actually the external HDD. if you have a drive thats got data on it already - then Select "Yes Delete All Data" click next Select No, Proceed to Confirmation Click next then Next again. The drive you are putting the image back to will be wiped in a blink of the eye, and the backed up image will be put back. Once completed simply reboot the PC, remove the Bootable CD before it boots other wise it will boot from that again, other than that it will boot back into windows as per the image. If you are putting it back on a different HDD ( new or test) you'll see a message saying it has installed a new HDD, but aprt from that, thats it. It took longer to write this out than actually do the task :D. |

| 1322173 | 2013-01-16 04:07:00 | if you have any problems / Questions just ask ;) I actually did a rough Video of the above as well, that was until I played it back and suddenly heard what music was playing in the background ;) Thought it was turned down enough not to record - Some may not like it since I was posting to a public forum :xmouth: |
