Greetings. I am pretty familiar with SSR2013 having used it since Ghost went away. However most of my restores have been bare metal bootup restores or file only restores.
Now I need to do a restore for a secondary drive from wtihin the windows environment. I need to use the windows environment as I am using a USB3 3GB drive that the bootup disc cannot access. My concern is once I put in the new drive I will have 2 identical non-O/S drives. One with data, one unformatted. So I am looking for some comfort that it will be painfully obvious from within the SSR2013 windows restore wizard which 2GB drive I should select! :)
I assume since I am within the windows environment my current live 2GB drive should display with it's windows "name" and regular drive letter? So it would be obvious to NOT select this one.
And the new drive should just show up as an unformatted drive with some generic name? Which would make sure I select the right one.
I guess a failsafe would be to run some program that accesses a file on my drive with data on it because SSR2013 would say it was "in use".
As an aside it would be nice to see a video of the restore wizard screen by screen so you can see it in action. Of course I have the manuals and tech bulletins but it would be cool to see it.
When you have 4 drives, over the years I have learned to be VERY careful so you don't lose data when doing restores.
Thanks for the help!
