File Structure Advice

Thread needs solution

If I restore an image that was created from an external hard drive formatted NTFS to an external hard drive formatted Fat32, will the new drive's Fat32 file structure remain intact or will the drive be converted to NTFS?

TIA for your feedback.

Ron:

If you are restoring an image (as opposed to restoring individual files and folders) then the underlying file system will be restored also. So if you create an image of an NTFS partition and then restore the image somewhere else, the restored partition will be NTFS.
