Did a backup of my M17X last night using DriveImage XML. It was simple to execute. So now, I've a fresh copy of Windows 7 on my recovery partition, a copy of that with some apps installed stored to a memory stick, and now I've a copy of the C: as it is right now. At some point, I need to do a drive-for-drive image, but I don't want to have to buy another backup drive (and a big one at that)...a drive-for-drive image will be copying used and unused space...all 1.5 TB of it...or am I wrong?
What I really want is an extra copy of the restore partition, so I can burn it to CD and put it somewhere safe. DriveImage XML won't even let me see the recovery partition, although native tools such as diskmagn (the default Windows disk management system) sees the partition.
Now I need to take that backup that ran last night, and place it on the MBL backup drive. :)
