Initial experience of IFD

[Alycat]

I have only recently started using IFD. I had used Acronis for a while, but decided to give up on it - it was a nightmare to uninstall, ended up reinstalling Win7 on my new laptop, installing on the drivers and then software. Old laptop it was a case on installing Vista so I could use the Win7 upgrade disk, then drivers.....

Therefore I was hesistant to use any imaging software that installs anything on my C: - I purchased the IFW bundle amd have IFD on a bootable USB, so great, no need to put any drivers, etc on my C:.

At critical places in the above I took images with IFD. Before installing Windows on my old laptop I did several trial restores of images using IFD as a test.

All worked well - IFD is "boring", works just as it says it will and just as I expected - great

Just a few questions:

With the first few backups I did (with the trial?) I thought I received a confirming popup when the backup finished. Now, and I have done probably half a dozen over the last 2 days, the data remaining reaches zero, the % reaches 100, and nothing, no popup and IFD fails to respond. I just switch off and back on, the backup or restore all seems to have completed ok.

If I do a backup that creates only one file, is this just a normal file, that can be moved, copied, renamed?

I rename (and then use) my backup files all the time.

You can name them what you wish when you create them as
well. The default name is just proposed.

Do keep the file extension the same, though.

Yes, I had changed the default name ... but then changed my mind later
