I've been doing a simple xcopy to copy my post FBA builds
to the destination drive. I'm simply copying the built
directory tree to an NTFS partition. This all works fine.
What will the SDI Manager do for me instead? Does it
create an image file and then expand it into a directory
tree on the destination drive?

Thanks in advance,
Tim
 
Hi Tim,

If all is working then SDI will do nothing for you.
Using SDI you can't copy files only partitions or whole disk. And this can
take time and space since all data (used and unused) need to be copied.

How are you using Xcopy to copy your builds? I thought Xcopy only supports 8.3 file names, in otherwords 8 character file names, so Progra~1 is actually program files. I tried this and xcopy actually copied my files in the 8.3 way....

Thanks
 
Mark,

Tim has mentioned he uses xcopy to copy his image to an NTFS partions. unles
he is using NTFS-for-DOS, he is probably doing it under Win32 platform.
xcopy (win32 version) supports long file names.
Are you running xcopy under DOS? Then you may need to use a different third
party solution.
