Macrium has two imaging modes. The default is for Macrium not to back up things that don't make sense to backup like the page and hyberfile and unused sectors. I don't know whether it images restore points. It is called intelligent sector copy. This gives a faster and smaller backup. You can turn this off and it will image the entire partition but unless you have good reason to do that. I wouldn't bother.
Just discovered it doesnt support encryption (in free).
That make it for me useless :-(((
I will back to old clonezilla but will be very boring and long.
All recovery points are, are Registry backups in a sense really.
If you feel you really need them, after a re-image(which you won't/don't) you can always get Tweaking(.)com's registry backup
Not quite. Shadow copies are kept in hidden volumes. Just having the reg entries won't do it.
It might be possible to engineer a workaround to stop them from being omittted. The image will be bigger, might be a lot bigger.
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToSnapshotMacriumImage] "RestorePoints"=-
Or i must find an alternative with differential and password.
Also, i want make a last try to make rp to work again in my Anniversary:
1 uninstalling get office
2 delete microsoftofficehub folders from windowsapp from a windows PE live Cd
So i hope to solve but i am afraid to touch that folders and also that the issue can back by reinstalling automatically get office.
I also don't know of any free with encryption.
You could keep a lookout for give aways of pro versions.
I have posted elsewhere about O&O disk image Pro 10.5 which is on giveaway, and has some useful featuires.
It was completely ignored by the macrium fanatics.
Just to clarify this: if OneDrive folder is included in Macrium system image and you will add files and folders to OneDrive folder after creating the image, then restore the image, all content added since image was made will be deleted from OneDrive and all devices syncing the same OneDrive account, as well as from OneDrive cloud.
This is of course logical and as far as I know the same with all cloud sync services.
Example: When Macrium image is created, it contains OneDrive with personal folders Folder1, Folder2 and Folder3. Later on, after creating image user adds Folder4, File1 and File2.
PC crashes, user must restore the image. At this point, after restore, the local OneDrive folder does no longer contain Folder4, File1 and File2. OneDrive service sees this as deletion, deleting said folder and files from cloud and from all devices syncing the same OneDrive account.
Folder1, Folder2 and Folder3 would naturally remain and be synced to other devices because they were included in image.
For this reason I wholeheartedly recommend that you set OneDrive to use another partition than Windows system partition C:, then exclude this partition from backups:
This makes sense because OneDrive is already backed up to cloud, you do not have to include it in system image. After an image restore simply set up OneDrive using this location and you are done.
If your PC only has Windows partition, no additional data partitions, simply shrink C: in Disk Management and create a new partition for OneDrive.

Very clear thank you.
