Using ImageX to image 2 volumes
I am deploying a system with 2 volumes (a C: and a D: drive) and I want to
use imageX to back up the system to a .WIM file. How do I tell imageX to image both volumes into a single .WIM file? Also when I go to "restore" the image, or deploy the image, how do I get imageX to restore to both volumes with minimal effort? Do I need to create these volumes on the host PC manually or will imageX do this for me with the /apply switch? Thanks Russell |

Using ImageX to image 2 volumes
MORE INFORMATION: Let's say that I have 2 partitions on the same hard disk, a
drive C: and drive D:. I want to save that information on BOTH partitions to the same image file with imagex.exe. I will use the drive letter H: to represent my external USB hard disk... I run this command first: imagex.exe /CAPTURE /COMPRESS maximum /VERIFY C: H:\MyPC.wim "My Computer" Then this command: imagex.exe /APPEND /COMPRESS maximum /VERIFY D: H:\MyPC.wim "My Computer" .. .. .. Then if I need to restore it all back, imagex.exe /APPLY /VERIFY H:\MyPC.wim 1 "My Computer" C: Will this work to restore everything back to drive C: and D: at the same time with all the paths and files intact?
