ozbear Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Installing Windows 7 and allowing it to control disk space allocation during installation creates a 100MB hidden System Recovery partition. If I do a full, recycle backup with Cache files included, I get this partition in addition to the C: drive. If I disable Cache files in the scrpt Options, since Retrospect documentation says they are unneeded for a complete system resore, will the Recovery partition, and everything it needs, be backed up? Disabling Cache Files seems the only way to stop Retrospect from backing up the Restore Point and/or VSS Shadow files which can cause a 3-GB backup even if no files have changed.

Mayoff Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) The hidden system recovery partition is required for the restore of the operating system and is rebuilt if you use the Recovery CD.
