[QUOTE="JustATest, post: 251762, member: 25525"] Hello again Saltgrass, FYI, I am in the process of testing Win 8.1 backup and recovery using SysRescueCD. I used this routinely to backup and restore system images in XP and it appears to work just fine for Win 8.1 as well. The beauty of using the SysRescueCD method is that it doesn't care about OS compatibility checks. It simply does its job of backing up and restore partitions; period. Now, the only downside to using this method is that you must backup (and restore) each partition individually so I have to do a backup image twice. Once for System Reserved and again for the C Drive. Anyway, it appears to be working. I'll report back tomorrow. In the mean time, interest parties can take a peek here to learn more; however, be forewarned there is no clear cut procedure available on how to do what I am doing so if anyone is "really interested" in trying this method, I can do a write-up if necessary.
