Backing up on NTFS drive - HowTo?
Posted: 16 Jul 2006, 20:13
Hi.
I have an extra, removable, disk formatted with NTFS and I am running XP. I am making regularly backups on the extra disk with Allsync, and if anything goes wrong I wish of course be able to make a recovery of the backed up files.
But, when I created a new, (planned), XP installation I noticed that the new installation might had trouble accessing the backup disk. I tried with two different backupdisks and with one I was able to 'get ownership' etc. but with the other one I was asked by XP to 'import' or something like that (it was a while so I do not remember the exact details.)
So, how shall I use my backup disk? How shall it be configured in Disk Manager etc. to be able to recover from a new installation of XP?
TIA
