Using Win7 System Image with Sophos Safeguard 5.50.8.13

mattbreit over 13 years ago

Hi All,

Does anyone know if it is possible to use Windows 7's 'System Image' backup option with Sophos Safeguard 5.50.8.13?

I would like to make a backup image of my harddrive, but basically I don't want to mess anything up :)

thanks!

Hi sohannin,
SafeGuard Enterprise / Easy is not being tested for compatibility against Windows Image Backup.
As written above; the files might be taken in an encrypted state, it might be possible to open such an image with the SafeGuard Recovery CD from KBA 108805 SafeGuard Device Encryption: Recovering data from a volume-based encrypted SafeGuard Device Encryption Client (WinPE 3.0 based system with SafeGuard Filterdriver system) and access those images or even mount the *.vhd's directly on a running Windows 7 Client that is installed with SafeGuard Enterprise (after assigning the encryption key centrally from the console).
... but as you can read from all the "might"s, this has not been tested officially and I cannot tell you if it works or not as I havent tested it myself either.
Regards,
Chris
