Split/join an existing backup
Hi.
It would be useful an utility in True Image to split/recombine an existing backup.
In the meanwhile I would like to know if using the conversion tools is a lossless operation and then useful for this purpose.
I'm asking this because by converting a .tib file to a .vhd file and re-converting this .vhd file (using the same compression level) to a .tib file the "source" .tib file and the "target" .tib file are not the same size.
Thanks in advance.

I second the motion to provide such a tool to split or combine image files.
I saw another earlier post where someone suggested using a third party tool to split a larger image, but it was followed by several negative comments about TI not being reliable with multi-disk images.
So I would think the best bet would be to have everything done by TI (I have TI Home 2011).
It does seem like it would be a good idea as suggested in the other thread, to move all images to a hard drive before trying to use them to avoid disk swapping.
But it would be nice if you could make multiple disks from your single file backup to have as a reserve without having to make a second backup run.
