How to request: new computer Win7 installed
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 8:31 pm
Greetings, all.
Just got a new Win7 computer and immediately partitioned the HD to create a data drive called D: - and only afterwards noticed the 200MB "active" partition.
It looks as if iFD could be ideal for routine system backups, since the docs, videos, and how-to's all show full drive backups and restores. But since D: contains just data, it's backed up separately on tape. Since there's a lot of data, I don't want to include it all in routine backups.
Is there a how-to or video showing my situation where the objective is a simple routine system backup and restore when the system crashes but where it's not a full drive backup / restore? I need to understand how much more complex it is to restore partition by partition, especially with the unnamed 200MG thingie and what appears to be a non-standard MBR.
But this scenario doesn't seem to be the subject of a video or how-to. Anybody know of one?
