Copy and Paste a backup Image

[tigersty1e]

So I created a backup image using Seagate Discwizard (Acronis Lite Version), but I want to move this backup image to another drive.


I heard somewhere that somebody had trouble when Vista defragged a drive that had his backups.

If I just manually copy and paste the backup image to another drive, will I be fine? I'll be able to restore this image to another drive without any problems, right?

I have done this many times using Ghost...so I will step out on a ledge and say it should be fine. Nothing like a trial run to verify.

I heard somewhere that somebody had trouble when Vista defragged a drive that had his backups.

If that's the case then he had problems somewhere else. There was something wrong with his drive, cable, memory, storage driver, etc.

So it didn't work.

The validation didn't even want to run.

It said,

"This is not the last created volume of the image backup. Please insert the last created volume to start working with this archive."

I then tried to proceed anyway and this popup came up,

"The selected file is not an Seagate DiscWizard archive or the file is corrupted. Please, select another file."


BTW, I'm running off of Acronis lite (the free version that comes with Seagate drives). Maybe this feature is not included in my version?

You peaked my interest in this so I'm doing a back up verification with Acronis 11 now to see if it will work.

oh and by the way. the verification went fine with Acronis 11 and Vista 64.

Hmmm.

I'll reformat the destination drive again and recopy and paste and *hopefully* this works.
