Do all tib restores via Acronis boot disk restore sector x sector
When restoring different tib backup files...the boot disk screen always says :
2 of 2
Recovering partition sector by sector
However...all my saved or new test backups do not have the "save sector by sector" box checked...yet during trial restores the above message is on the Acronis Boot Screen upon starting Recovery ?
Is this normal ?
Thanks...TRinAZ

Thanks MC...what then or why is the option to save 'sector by sector' in "setting backup options" offered ? What's the advantage/disadvantage of checking the backup sector by sector box or not ?
Thanks...TRinAZ

When you do a restore, TI can only restore the sectors it backed up. In a normal backup these are the used sectors. In a sector-by-sector backup these are all the sectors in the included partition(s) and possibly unallocated sectors as well. Sector-by-sector backups can be very large -- if you back up a 500GB partition you're backing up 500GB, even if it has only 10MB of files on it.
Backing up all sectors can be helpful when you need an exact image of the drive for recovery purposes or when the file system isn't recognized. It's not usually necessary for normal backups.
