Hello to all,
Have been running W8 and have backed up system images on my 2nd hardrive (D. I have used Macrium of which I am more familiar and also the OS's Windows 7 File Recovery. Both have instructed me to create boot rescue disks.
I am looking at the D: drive and I see the Folder Macrium, got that. Now I also find a folder named WindowsImageBackup and another folder that doesn't use the standard folder icon but something like a green line and a DVD icon named with the computer's name. The WindowsImageBackup is dated March, and the Machine Named weird icon folder is dated the last time I did a Windows 7 File Recovery Backup.
Can anyone please explain the differences on the two folders, what programs control them and why they have different backup dates. Not having used Windows System Images because of a glitch in my W7 machine, I am again over my head in what is going on. If I do a restore System Image with the Windows 7 File Recovery and it's boot disk, which I was instructed to label Windows 8 Consumer Preview Rescue disk, will that do a full system image restore, or try to?
Thanks for any assistance!
Glenn
