Working on PC during image backup C-drive
Hi,
Is is advisable to continue to work on a PC during an image backup of the C-drive?

There shouldn't be any problem for normal use. The backup is relatively CPU and disk intensive, so you might see a performance degradation. You can do software work and tweaks without issues.
The backup starts with doing a snapshot of the disk content. All disk I/O on the sectors to be backed up is put in a buffer while the data is backed up, then the buffer is written to these sectors. So, essentially, the data that is backed up is what was on the disk at the beginning of the back up.

Thanks Pat,
This is all I wanted to know.

Oh Steve, I saw your post after I reacted on Pat's.
I think I now have a good idea of what to do and what not during an image backup.
