Backing up System Disk by Media Builder vs ATI

Thread needs solution

Is there any difference between backing up by ATI or Media builder? I am asking because i guess ATI can't correctly back up files that currently in use like OS files and other running programs.

 

Am i wrong?

You can do full backups using the Windows ATI application which are the same as you can do by booting from the ATI Rescue Media.

ATI in Windows uses the Windows VSS snapshot method to backup any locked OS files / programs etc.

The key difference between these two methods is simply that the user can automate the Windows ATI backup to run this by schedule, including setting any exclusions, notifications etc, whereas when using the Rescue Media, this will always be a manual operation, including needing to type in any exclusions plus there are no scheduling or notifications options etc.
