Image


A backup image is a file where all data of a backup is written. All files of a backup would be written one after another into the image. The internal management of SIEGFRIED BACKUP takes care that all files can be found very quickly within the image. An image can be written to any given partition or any kind of drive. The only assumption is that the target partition/ drive is mountable under BeOS and it must be formatted!


Not available in the demo version!

SIEGFRIED BACKUP also supports removable drives! A backup image can be larger than the capacity of a single removable disc. The image is automatically divide into serveral parts. If a removable disc is full, SIEGFRIED BACKUP requests a new disc. It's important that the disc is formatted.

At this time SIEGFRIED BACKUP is not equipped to format discs automaticaly. The reason for this is that the BeOS doesn't provide an API for mounting and formating drives. We hope that future versions of the BeOS include this possibility.
