Partition Saving 4.10 description
As its name suggests, Partition Saving is an application designed to help you backup elements of different storage devices, ranging from partitions, hard disks or even the Master Boot Record sector. It comes in handy for backing up hard disk contents and restoring it at a later time.
The main interface resembles old DOS applications and comprises a list of all the available actions that the application can perform, enabling you to choose the desired one using either your keyboard or the mouse.
Partition Saving can save an element or restore it from an existing backup file. Also, it can copy a partition or a disk to another similar location. The generated backup files can be copied, compressed and verified, in order to detect possible backup errors. You can explore a partition or a backup file directly from the application and view its contents.
In addition to this, the application can update the partition definitions in the Windows registry, which changes the corresponding drive letter, in order to help the system identify it correctly after the partition is restored to another location.
The BOOTSECT.BAK file and the boot configuration can also be updated, so that the boot loader can search the moved partition in the right location. Furthermore, you can use it to reset bad sectors in the filesystem, fix broken FAT or NTFS boot sectors, replace the FAT or NTFS boot sector with a copy, in case the original one is damaged or create dummy files on NTFS drives for using them in the backup process.
Although it is easy to use, Partition Saving comes with a set of tools for handling hard disk sectors, which should only be accessed by advanced users. Other than that, it is a handy backup solution for partitions and disks.
What's New in This Release:
· it is the first 64 bits version for Windows and Linux. There is no major difference with 32 bits version, less fact that 64 bits Windows version is not compressed (so binaries are bigger).
· use of 1.2.8 zlib version.
· add of "swapfile.sys" file into list of swap files to ignore (added by Windows 8).
· clear to 0 of begin of swap files when restoring backup done with ignoring swap files. In case Windows is in hibernation mode when the restore is done, this avoid incoherency because Windows restarts from its hibernation state and disk content was modified. This does not change anything on backup files: restoring a backup created with previous version will reset begin of swap files and restoring with a previous version a backup created with this version will not reset begin of swap files.
· a correction to avoid program to block in some cases in case of execution cancel during a backup/restore.
some minor changes into interface as:
· pre-filling of file name and maximum size when ...
