Restore win 7 system partition to a prior level - TI2011

Thread needs solution

If I want to move the win sys 7 system partition to prior level can I use TI2011 running under win 7 or do I have to use the rescue disk?

If it's the System Reserved partition or the Windows partition of the booted Windows you will need to use the TI CD (assuming you don't want TI to reboot to do it).

It is the windows partition of the booted windows and I assumed TI would have to reboot to unlock the files to restore the partition. I just was not sure this was an acceptable process. Thanks for your response.

Edwin,
In general, people recommend to use the recovery CD to restore a system image. Restoring from within Windows works just fine. ATI will reboot so that it can restore prior to Windows booting up automatically in the latter case. I always use the recovery medium personally.

Also, be aware that if you restore from the CD a non-stop backup, you will not see all the versions, only the last one. From Windows you can pick any prior versions of a non-stop backup. For regular backups, there is no difference.

If you restore Win7, I would advice to restore the system reserved and the system partition or simply the entire disk where the system is. That worked everytime for me. When I tried to restore only the system partition, I had some issues.

I have tried to restore the active OS with ATI in the past but with no success I have a triple boot OS disk with XP Pro, Vista 64x and Win 7 64x. I have restored the Win 7 partition, the disk... and about all combinations of OS partitions using ATI 2010 images and the ATI 2010 rescue disk and never a problem. I have only tried restoring the triple boot OS disk with ATI2011 with both ATI 2010 and ATI 2011 disk images with ATI 2011 rescue disk with no problems. I will have to try restoring just the win 7 partition with ATI 2011 rescue disk and see .
