IFW default filename for images

Post by jelson »

in IFW 2.92 I find the following suggestion for the image filename:

Backup-w0-0x1-$~YYYY$-$~MM$-$~DD$-$~HHMM$

From the manual, it seems "w" indicates IFW is being used and # following it is the HDD #

Is the "x1" in "-0x1" indicating the partition #?

If so, what is "-0" indicating?

Finally, is there any way to customize the suggested filename?

Thanks

I am imaging 2 different laptops so wanted a way to tell which image was
which.

I just edit the name with an abbreviated 55 for one and V3 for the
other. I can also indicate if I made anything special before creating
this image such as MS updates.

Of course, this would be done manually every image.

I think the 0x in 0x1 indicates the the number (1) is a hexadecimal number (a meaningless distinction for the number 1, but meaningful for larger numbers).

w0 is the drive (windows drive - w is a modifier for windows drive) and the
0x1 is the partition id.

you can change the default naming if you wanted.
