Question about Hoster back-up

[tymzend]

Gduns,

I agree. I think there is registry sharing.

MTU, just a question for you guys. When I bought the second hard drive, I bought it as protection. But, it doesn't seem to be working the way I understood it would work.

Do you have any recommendations as to how I would be able to use my second drive as a back-up? The way it was explained to me was just like I am doing it. Copy everything over to the other drive, then if you have a crash, reboot to the other drive and go. If there is registry sharing, that's not going to work every time. If it doesn't work every time, the second hard drive that I bought with my system really isn't doing it's job.

Any other suggestions?

Tymzend,
This is how we have all of our office systems setup, and it works fine. When Drive image or Ghost copy the files to the backup drive, this drive is hidden.

If you look under Windows Explorer, you should never see this drive, unless you have booted from it. If you do see it, then you assigned a drive letter in the copy process, which can cause problems. If you don't see the drive it should be working the way that it should. I have tested this many times, and we have this same setup on all of our office systems, 2 hard drives connected inside with one of them as a Backup, that we run occasionally to make sure if we crash, it will be a reboot to fix it.

Other than this, I am not sure why yours would not be working the same.
