2 June 2005: Drive Snapshot 1.36 RC5
new features:
backup:
-
Compatibility with Windows 2003 Server SP1
-
partitions without a drive letter (mounted at mountpoints)
-
unrecognised partitions (Compaq/HP/Dell service partitions)
-
Linux Ext2/Ext3/Reiser/Swap partitions
-
image files are saved as unfragmented as possible
-
USB sticks should be supported
-
our first attempt to use some graphic in the windows user interface ;)
Restore:
-
to all partitions mentioned above
-
when restoring from Windows/BartPE, allows resizing of NTFS file system to the
partition size.
Resizing up is always possible; resizing down only to the size of the highest
used
sector on the disk (basically: what you see in disk defragmenter), NOT to the
used data size;
no defragmentation on the fly is attempted.
Bugs fixed:
-
previous versions allowed mounting of images with <= 256 image .sn1, .sn2,...pieces
now up to 65535 pieces (of max 256 TB each) are mountable
-
supports image mounting in Win 2000/Win 2003 Terminal server environment
-
behaves better, if memory cards (MMC etc.) aren't plugged in
-
a couple of minor things (as usual)
-
the described procedure to convert the networkbootdisk.sna into a 'real' image,
suitable to burn a bootable CD, had a bug.
fixed.
This is a pre-release version of Drive Snapshot 1.36.
While we don't expect
any bugs, we are still testing it before finally releasing it.
If you find any
bugs, feedback is appreciated.
