Backup Options : Some explanations please
Posted: Wed Dec 08, 2010 11:09 am
The steps in <Backup Options> are quite mysterious to me, even after reading carefully the Help.Mostly I don't unsderstand the concept of "snapshot". Please exuse my dumbness !
_ 1) "Snapshot providers" What if all checkboxes are unchecked ? And what is the point of notifying system applications that a snapshot is being taken ? If using "snapshot service" is useful , as it seems from what you say in Help, why is there a choice to bypass it ? Finally if all the options in "Snapshot providers" are checked, Will not the image building process be significally slowed down ? ( could be the reason why a choice for not using snapshots is available).
_ 2) checkbox "Ignore disk read errors (bad sectors)" My understanding is R-Drive Image would cough or stop when trying to read a bad sector, in which case this box should be always checked. Is that correct ? I must say I did not check the box when making my images, but that could mean my computers have no bad sectors on their HD ( or these are correctly neutralized)
_ 3) What exactly is "AUX" ? (my guess is "auxilliary" but this is undefined) BTW I'm glad the program says you can leave it blank !
Well thanks in advance for clarifications
