Wed, 28 Jan 2009 10:44:24 +0000 http://www.whs-experience.co.uk/2009/01/28/backup-error/#comment-388 I had very similar situation with a program called <a href="http://<a href="http://www.handybackup.net"" target="_blank">www.handybackup.net"</a>target="_blank">Handy Backup</a>. It successfully backed up a partition which had its size different that initial size that took place when I created a backup task. And then, when I tried to restore this backup, it ALSO re-wrote contents of the second partition (i.e. sectors specified in the task earlier). I mean, when I installed Windows 7, I decided to make a system partition 10GB smaller. Thanks god I had backups of all data of the second partition too - but before I restored it these 10GB appeared to have A LOT of strange and unreadable files which I couldn't get rid of.
