	Backing up/restoring outside Windows Apr 12^th, 2008 at 1:46pm Hi, I need to be able to backup and restore partitions from outside Windows. The software must be able to read/write from USB and sata disks. Which software do I need?

Brian, if I understand your comment correctly, I believe that ShadowProtect Desktop can also restore a partition to a user-selected offset. Right-click the desired volume in the Disk Map in the Recovery Environment, and change the partition creation policy (starting offset) for the drive. Is this what you need to do?

I didn't know SP could do that as it's not in the userguide but I vaguely remember Nate mentioning "partition creation policy" although that's not in the userguide either. I'm not doubting you.
