On the plus side, if you happen to use Hyper-V, the image was mountable in a Hyper-V VM. With compression, Ghost was faster (assuming you have a reasonably fast processor). The Ghost compressed image was significantly smaller No compression - backup image was the size of the original partition. Only one backup image can be saved into the back up partition I had several issues with the MS backup including (my top list of complaints): I forgot to mention, the new system is an HP ZBook G8Ĭlick to expand.Years ago I tried the Microsoft backup "built into" Windows 7 - after years of using Ghost V10.x. I am hoping this will work so that I have a recovery point as I test and play with things on the system. I am in the process of recreating a new image of the partition with 12.9. I was worried about having to rebuild the new system and use my licenses another time (and then the Microsoft license count may run out). After that I was able to boot the system. After that I booted the new computer, from the Ghost 12.9 media and tried a partition to partition image from the externally USB attached HDD to the internal M.2 SSD partition. I ended up taking the image file to another older computer and restoring it to a GPT based hard drive with a partition of the same size using my original Ghost 11.


That said, it failed to restore the image into the original partition with the same error. I found that it was able to read the image that I created with GSS 2.5.1 (Ghost 11.) when I performed a check image file. I found a copy of the boot images for both the 32-bit and 64-bit Ghost 12.9 (just determined this was 3.3 RU8) a few pages back.
