To create that same image: 6 minutes. My C: is a SSD, maybe       that explains.              > and also means thast one needs to remember all the data files that       > might need to be backed up before the restore.              You can use another program to backup data (documents, pictures, video,       ...). I keep that data on a separate drive D: (SATA), so I don't need to       remember anything when I create an image of C: (Windows and other       software).              --       s|b              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
