System Backup
I have 2 partitions,
C: system and programs
D: swap file.
If i want to back up my system is it correct to back up only C:? I think it's useless to waste disk for backing up a swap file.
But what happens if one day i'd restored C: only?
Does windows might have problems in finding D: with a swap file different (different coz i have restored the prev version of the system)
Thank u in advance

Thank u Anton,
am i the only one who has this problem?
why was 6GB (swap file) plus other 6 GB (hyberfyl.sys) for having nothing useful?
why wasting 12GB space to have nothing?
i'd be most grateful if u could test this situation for me (for everyone) and let us know the results.
This is very important to me.
Thank u
Patrick

Hello Patrick,
Thank you for replying.
Unfortunately I do not have any information why it was decided to automatically exclude the swap and hiberfil files from the backup. However, I will create a Customer Listening Case and forward it to our Development team for consideration. As a workaround, you can create a files/folders backup of these files, please refer to page 65 of our User Guide available here.
In the meantime, I will test this scenario on my virtual machine and get back to you with an answer.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thank you.
