Drive Image Question

Miles · 05-25-2002, 10:40 AM

Unlike Norton Ghost, can drive image write an image to an NTFS based drive and then restore from there?

yes, sure

Drive image 5 or drive Image 2002

Yep, that is one of my most favorite things about DI. What I do, is I install DI for only me to use. Make my family Users and me the Administrator. I do not map the NTFS partition in XP (I remove the letter designation in the Disk Management utility). I store my images on that NTFS partition. Also, I have noticed that the images I store on NTFS are faster to create than on FAT32 partitions. I normally create images at around 500~1000 Meg/min. Restoring images are normally around 900~1300 Meg/min.

BTW: Another plus with DI 2002 is that you can now create and restore some of the partitions while IN Windows!

So far, there has been only one problem with DI 2002. I have a 100Meg FAT partition with DrDOS 7.03 installed on it. Nine times out of ten, DI cannot backup that partition. I normally have to use Ghost 2002 to back that one little partition.
