Imaging Selected areas

[richie_pag]

Hey guys,

I pretty much have my media center up and going just right so i want to do another ghost image, but i have about 500GB worth of avi's so i dont want to image the whole disk.

Was wondering if anyone is able to image selected areas of the hard disk so your excluding photos, vids ect....

thanks

I believe when you go to do the acronis backup you can specify files not to include. I think you can even do that by file type.

PS. another good one not to back up is the swap file and hibernate file pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys

Just by chance Acronis 9.1 is on a windows xp boot cd i use for diaglostics for work (MiniPE)

acronis gives you the option to exclude hidden files which will be very handy.

also i would recommend MiniPE

a lot of handy apps on the one cd
