Don't you believe a successful boot to a VM using viBoot?Hi there
Sorry - but that shouldn't be true. With ANY backup / restore software you should certainly the first time its installed test it by backing up and restoring. You should also do a bare metal stand alone restore.
If you don't have a spare machine or can't swap HDD's / SSD's easily then at least test it in a Virtual Machine.
You should also test recovery every so often. It's not hard to do -- on a modern systems if you have your OS sensibly organised an OS image backup should only take around 15 mins (and about the same for restore).
I'm sure people have said Ad Nauseam to take regular backups (and check them) - amazing how many don't and then even on these Forums where people are more computer literate than most there's zillions of posts asking for help on lost / damaged data.
