Micro sd card in phone - can Macrium read it
Hi there.
I haven't tried it yet but with the 128 and 64 GB micros sd cards available I was wondering if say a Macrium image could be saved on to one of these cards - and could the stand alone boot recovery medium recognize the phone so the image could be restored.
(I'm not thinking of BOOTING from the phone --standard USB to load the recovery program).
I think it would only need for the smartphone driver to be added to the WINPE environment --sounds like a little interesting project for someone with a little time.
Anybody had a go at this and got it to work -- preferably with an Android type smart phone. Windows itself can see the card as another disk without having to install extra software so presumably the latest WINPE environment could be made to recognize the phone.
I like the idea of having a backed up image on a phone - that way you'd presumably never have a problem wherever you are to restore the image,
BTW from within Windows Macrium will backup to the card - but for speed it's better to backup to SSD and then copy to the phone -- USB3 connection port is fine.
Of course if your laptop has a built in SD reader - the micro sd adapters work -- you just then take the micro sd card out of the phone and put it into the SD adapter for the restore -- however just having it on the phone makes it very convenient. My Windows backup images are typically around 27 GB.
