A technical question about System Refresh
Hi All. Would greatly appreciate anyone's wisdom here. Just did my first 8.1 system refresh and, in the research process, noticed what seem to be redundancies in reinstallation options. Can't seem to find an answer to this question anywhere.
Creating a system backup image and a custom recovery image (using recimg command) seem to do the exact same thing, but the former cannot be stored on a flash drive (as far as I know) and the latter cannot be stored on an ext hd. Is it just me or couldn’t the two just be rolled into a single function with the full options of DVD, flash drive, ext HD, or the C drive? Maybe there are some system failure circumstances I'm not thinking of?
Thanks in advance.
