TeraByte Unlimited

I haven't tried that yet, I 'll report back soon.

Unticked the Ext partition and IFW backed up no problem. Does this mean it's impossible to back up and restore a dual boot system?

it just means we have to change the logic on the safety check due to vss changing. That change will be in the next version.

BTW, you could use phylock instead of vss in the mean time.

Ok. Well thanks for all the help, it's greatly appreciated.

Out of interest, I have a similar dual boot setup but with a MBR system. No VSS issues with an Entire Drive backup.

probably doesn't get added. You can look in the .log.

My log...
