ATI 2021 and Bitlocker
My first instinct after unpacking a brand-new computer is get the latest ATI, build a bootable flash drive and take a partition-level backup. There was a slight complication this time. It’s called bitlocker. Not to worry, I put a manage-bcd command in startnet.cmd to unlock the drive. I can browse the drive, I have R/W access, life is great. I can “even” do an ATI backup. I get a .tib file. I can see it, I can browse it… It’s what an ATI backup is supposed to look like.
But who was is that said that backup is the easy half of the equation? The next part of the fire drill was a restore. Hmm… Not so good. ATI behaved strangely. Below is what it thinks needs doing:
Operations
Number of operations: 2
- Deleting partition
Hord disk: 1
Drive letter. C:
File system: NTFS
Volume label: OS
Size: 933.0 GB
- Copying and merging partitions Hard disk: 7
Drive letter C:, C: - > C:
File system: NTFS, None -> NTFS
Volume label: OS
Size: 933.0 GB, 933.0 GB - > 933.0 GB
When I click “Proceed” on this, I’m told to reboot. Why does ATI think it needs to delete the partition? And merge C: with C: ?
Is there something more I can do to allow a successful restore? I’d like to think there’s a way to get past this problem, other turning bitlocker off entirely.
The computer is Dell Inspiron 7400, Win10-64, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB NVMe drive.
