1107309 2010-06-06 07:08:00 Does it keep multiple copies?

Its help section says:
If you're saving your system images on an internal or external drive, or on CDs or DVDs, you can keep several versions of system images. On internal and external hard drives, older system images will be deleted when the drive runs out of space.

I created an image on the 2nd partition of the main drive (RAID 1) and put another copy on the standalone internal drive (non RAID). I checked the folders and I am left with the latest one. I rebooted the computer and checked it again in restore mode, again I am only provided the latest image (on both drives), the image I created yesterday is not listed.

I have over 200GB in spare room.

1107310 2010-06-06 09:52:00 I found it overwrites (using eSATA-connected HDD).

After each image I rename the file eg:

"WindowsImageBackup_Image2_afterDrivers"

which allows the next image to use the "WindowsImageBackup" name.

To restore an image I name it back to "WindowsImageBackup" and ensure it's back in the root of the drive
