Hello,

Using IFL I performed a "Copy a hard drive to another hard drive" thinking I was creating an image to free space on the second drive.
Instead it copied the two partitions from one HD to second HD that had backup files on it.
So my question is, is there a way to undo this and or recover the files? I also have a licensed copy of BIBM.

no. when it warns you it's going to overwrite, it's going to overwrite.
So the sectors now contain the data.

Using Backup is what will create an image backup to a file.

If you just copied to a "free space" area, that means no partition was
there, so you could just delete the partition and it will be "free space"
(unpartitioned area) again.

That's what I thought, but had to ask. Luckily I have other backups.
After reading through some of threads here, I should have turned "Simple Operations" off in settings.
