Hello,
I tried to use MS backup tool to make a full backup of my whole system in
order to restore it in another new machine. It fails because MS backup could
not make a full backup, since the administrator does not have access to any
file in the system (some directories, files, etc. are not allowed to be read
by the admin).
Meanwhile, ghost and partition magic for instance allows to copy the whole
HD partition.
Does anybody know if MS backup can really make a full system backup (with
different access rights, multiple users on the machine, etc.), and then to
restore this system into a new machine (same model, same hardware profile).
That is, is a system duplication à -la-ghost possible with MS backup ?
Is MS backup allows only to copy and restore personal accessible files, I do
not understand why such tool exist since any standard copy and compress
method would make the same thing. The real backup is when the system can be
restored.
thanks
