Cloning from a partition?
Hello,
I work for a post production company and everytime we get new clients we give them a fresh image by cloning a drive.
My current drive layout is as follows with separate partitions for the different versions of software we use (picture also attached)
|| System || (C:) Avid MC 6 || (I:) Avid MC 5.5 || (J:) Avid MC 6.5 ||
Now my question is,
Is there a way using True Image that I can clone just one of these partitions + the system partition onto a spare drive? Obviously if I just cloned the (C:) partition on it's own this will not be bootable as I will still need the system partition. Any help would be greatly appreciated, unfortunately the trial does not allow me to use the cloning tool (or so i believe by reading the user manual) so I cannot test this out for myself. The machines we use are HP Z800's.
Cheers
Guy

Thanks for your reply,
We currently use a bit a software that does create an archive file just wondered if there was a way we could clone as it's quicker to update the image. Thought this might be the case.
Cheers

Remember, a clone doesn't update any image. If you clone disk A to disk B, B can be used instead of A: the disk is a clone. After changes to A', if you clone again, you obtain B', and all data from B is lost (you cannot go back to the A state)
When you backup, you store the image of A on disk B, you cannot use disk B instead of A. When you run the backup again, another archive files is created on B. At that point you can restore to the A or to the A' state.
