If you want to perform a partition backup image, and make those backups incremental nightly, it might be possible.
Isn't that want you want? If you want to perform a restore, it will not restore you back to a bootable drive, but it will have all your data and files backed up. If you use the Windows 7 data backup and perform incremental backups, you will have a backiup of all your data from the Windows partition. Since you aren't clear about what scheme you want to use, it is hard to answer with a "clear answer" and not get confused by what you seem to be asking.Īs far as I know that's not enough to perform incremental backups including EVERYTHING on the Boot Camp partition. It's when you start wanting to perform disk image backups, and then ontop of that perform incremental image backups of your Windows partition that things get challenging and confusing. The WIndows 7 Data backup utility it perfect for tasks like that. You talk about backing up your data on your Windows partition, and you talk about performing incremental backups.
I agree that what you are asking for seems rather confusing. I always wrote about the Boot Camp partition. It worked fine on my MacBook Pro, but wouldn't work properly for a number of other users. I learned this when I was testing Colnexzilla as a possible backup/cloning tool. With the variations in machines, and machine configurations, what works for someone else might not work for you, and what might work for you might not work for someone else. I went through lots of testing several years ago on my first MacBook Pro, but almost none of that testing is valid for my current machine. Well, Anyone elses personal experience won't mean much to you unless they have the same setup as you, so asking others for personal experience is as much of a crap shoot for you as doing it yourself.
And VERY time-consuming!! Hence I asked for personal experiences. A bit difficult to test such a software including worst case recovery if you can't dispense with the concerned computer temporarily.
