Since I know many of you are system administrators and have to know about Windows as well as linux, I thought I would ask this simple windows question. On my dell laptop which is dual boot, there is a partition with the label 'WINRETOOLS' that is about 450 mb in size. There is also a partition with the label 'Image' that is about 12 gb in size. They both have the ntfs file system. I have a bash procedure I have written for making daily/weekly backups of my hard drive, and I use rsync to clone my ext4 partitions. I use 'ntfsclone' to clone the windows partition, so that if my hard drive fails I can swap out the backup and be back up and running, complete with dual boot. I do use windows on occasion with this computer, so I want to keep the windows backup current. However, I haven't done anything to set up backing up windows images or anything like that. I haven't wanted to get too into the windows side of things which results in microsoft logging your life on their servers. But my question is, does windows automatically keep the 'WINRETOOLS' partition and/or the 'Image' partition updated when windows is being used? If so, I will need to clone those partitions also. Thanks in advance. -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.3 | Gnome 3.20 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 42.3 | Gnome 3.20 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
