V1.36 20 July 2005: Drive Snapshot 1.36
older versions of Drive Snapshot (1.35 and earlier) do NOT work with Windows
2003 SP1
new features:
backup:
-
partitions without a drive letter (mounted at mount points)
-
unrecognized partitions (Compaq/HP/Dell service partitions)
-
Linux Ext2/Ext3/Reiser/Swap partitions
-
image files are saved as unfragmented as possible
-
USB sticks should be supported
-
our first attempt to use some graphic in the windows user interface ;)
Restore:
-
to all partitions mentioned above
-
when restoring from Windows/BartPE, allows resizing of NTFS file system to the
partition size.
Resizing up is always possible; resizing down only to the size of the highest
used
sector on the disk (basically: what you see in disk defragmenter), NOT to the
used data size;
no defragmentation on the fly is attempted.
Bugs fixed:
-
previous versions allowed mounting of images with <= 256 image .sn1, .sn2,...pieces;
now up to 65535 pieces (of max 256 TB each) are mountable
-
supports image mounting in Win 2000/Win 2003 Terminal server environment
-
behaves better, if memory cards (MMC etc.) aren't plugged in
-
a couple of minor things (as usual)
-
the described procedure to convert the networkbootdiskette.sna into a 'real' image,
suitable to burn a bootable CD, had a bug.
fixed.
V1.35 -1 May 2004
-
BUG: Windows 2003 Server: 'Driver reports error: IRQL 5'; should be fixed

reducing .EXE size by 3K ;)
V1.33 -1 Mar 2004

new: when backing up from command line.
some users wanted a graphical
status nevertheless.
added new switch -G (graphical) to allow this
-
new: when restoring to a new drive, where the drive geometry (cylinders/sectors)
changed, the disk isn't bootable.
there's a new command
DOS: snapshot
CHECKBOOT HD1
Windows:snapshot -!CHECKBOOT HD1
to correct this; will be done automatically in 1.36
