O.T. Mrimg backups, clones, restore images step by step (Paul)
Mark Twain wrote:
I made slideshows out of your instructions, they work great and your instructions make it simple. Clone was successful; I ran a HDTune afterwards as you suggested: http://i63.tinypic.com/144b6gp.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/6716bc.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/ajukxj.jpg If I put the drive back in the Startech case it should detect it now, correct? Thanks, Robert You would hope so. It should show up in Disk Management and everything. And because Macrium cloned it, the identifiers should be modified enough, so that it doesn't go "Offline" by accident. If you use a "dumber" way to clone, that is what happens. But Macrium does a good job of cloning and helps make sure the disks have separate identities (where it counts). There are a number of disk identifiers that can be identical. Even partition names could be the same if you wanted, without a problem. But there's at least one number the disk uses, if it's the same, Disk Management makes the second drive go to an Offline state. Paul |

I removed the cloned HD and put the non-
functioning HD in the 8500: http://i68.tinypic.com/v7uwiq.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/2s8mq8n.jpg http://i65.tinypic.com/5pj70p.jpg I then connected the cloned HD in the Startech case via USB port: http://i68.tinypic.com/4sg0ef.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/2dj5urk.jpg http://i63.tinypic.com/5320k9.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/2m6odfq.jpg Many Thanks, Robert |

Many Thanks, Robert Your last transfer curve might work better on a USB3 port. Maybe the 8500 has one, while the 780 might not have one ? Paul |

http://i63.tinypic.com/1zzpzr6.jpg The offline problem again http://i67.tinypic.com/35009a8.jpg Thanks, Robert Now, where can we find a utility to list the identities of those disks and partitions ? There's got to be more to that than NTFS TxF. [ Very windy here right now, expecting power to go out sooner or later. ] Paul |

The last transfer was from a USB port, I was
trying to show that the Startech case worked with the cloned HD whereas it wouldn't work with the other HD and didn't show up in disk management. That's why I put the non-working HD in the 8500 to see if it would detect it and show up on disk management then did a HDtune on it, and I followed that up with the HD in the Startech case to make sure it worked.

OIC, the HD in the 8500 that was non-working
doesn't have a partition name and isn't formatted correctly. That explains why it didn't work in the Startech case. Why not just make another clone? That's what it was suppose to be used for anyway, as a backup HD for the 8500 . That would format it and solve the issue of a partition name. I use the WD for the external Mrimgs. Thoughts/Suggestions? Robert |

I misunderstood your comment but I
did use a USB 3.0 port (blue). Robert |

I missed your second comment and so went back
and put the drive online and it gave it a letter etc. That's why it didn't work before. http://i67.tinypic.com/maj885.jpg Robert |

How could a drive go offline? Unless I
did it for some reason and don't remember? Robert |

It's less likely to be recorded on the disk, or at least I'm not aware of a storage location with that sort of information inside it. The "diskpart" program has an "attributes disk" command for a selected disk, but I don't think that really tells the whole story. Your problem previously, something led me to believe it was related to NTFS TxF and Macrium. Once Macrium is finished with it, there's been at least one reboot, you wouldn't think that would be a reason any more. Paul |

So are you saying that it may go offline
again at some point because of TxF? Also why is this not happening with my other Partitions? I was thinking of removing the HD that I just put online and we verified that everything is OK in the anti-static bag/box and keep it in case I need it. The cloned HD is in the Startech case and we've verified that it works. So I now have (2) 8500 HD backups. I was thinking, down the road, of cloning another HD for the 780 and another for the WD backup(just in case that ever went bad). To do so I would have to remove the 8500 HD and replace it with the WD, correct? The 780 is easy, just insert another HD and put the cable back in place (but to the second HD) I should of thought of doing that with the 8500. What do you think? Robert |

Robert Well, you're an expert at this stuff now :-) What more could I possibly add ? You have way more backups than the average user, so that makes you an expert. Paul |

I wanted to run something by you and see if
you think theres's any problem with it or if it's OK. This is in the near future,.. Instead of removing the 8500 HD and installing the WD to clone the new HD. I want to clone the new HD with the 8500 O/S and then make a Mrimg folder and create a mrimg for it after cloning. Then when I do my monthly Mrimgs I do Mrimgs for both the WD and for the new external back-up and also do the 780 mrimgs with its own dedicated external HD. What do you think? Robert |
