Backup Question

[weedahoe]

Being honest. IDK what the differences are but I know I have Clone and that what I use. I think it is more along the lines of a business class app where ITs can get one device how they want it for the company and then create a self-exec backup and load the card in another device and auto-load the same image without having to go through all the hassle of customizing on each device. Im sure there are some things that Clone covers that Backup doesnt but Im not totally sure of what. But then I was just reading about Backup and they say it also makes self-exec backups so IDK??

I shot them an email asking for the differences and got a response saying it could take up to 3 days so well see.......maybe

You're correct, it is designed for IT departments to set up multiple devices exactly the same (I work in IT & we use Ghost to do the same thing with multiple computers at work) That is talking about the OS & custom settings however, it shouldn't really touch/BU or have any affect on the ROM.

SPB BU also creates a self extracting restore image. I have six of those files on my storage card right now. Restoring any one of them has no affect on the ROM & I don't see how Clone would either (nor would you really want it to)
