Gozzgug Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 From this KB935467 article it looks like we can't use ImageX as a backup recovery method for Vista. Is this correct? It seems strange that ImageX was released for Vista but yet can't recover/backup Vista. Does anyone have any more info on this?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4ntb0y Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Well I have used it to backup my laptop running vista and my desktop I even use it for Server Backup snapshots had no problems yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarable Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 That KB article just points out the shotcomings of using ImageX as a backup tool and the grounds on which they will not support it's use to do backups.There's nothing techically wrong with using ImageX to do backups. The fact that you lose NTFS permissions makes it an issue if you rely on that (i.e data stores on servers or locked down workstations). For the typical home user that really won't be an issue.If ImageX works for you to do your backups and retores, then by all means use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
