The difference between SysRestore and other restore utilities is that SysRestore uses true writing technology for backup.
How to identify the true or virtual writing technology
When virtual writing technology is applied in a restore software, it would save a file on c drive. However, if you boot via USB drive or boot to Windows PE via disc, there is no file that has been thought saved on C drive.
Virtual writing backup technology: Protect original data on hard disk for protection and it does not allow any change. When new data arrives, it would be kept on some safe area.
True writing backup technology: when saving new files on disk, it would backup old data on safe area and then save new data on the disk.
- What would happen if the disk or system partition has been damaged where SysRestore stores snapshots?
The place is called safe area where snapshots are saved. This safe area is protected by the driver of SysRestore and the data there cannot be destroyed by any other software. (If you try to access the safe area via Windows API, you would receive access rejection. ) If the data was really damaged, the worst – BSOD ie bluescreen would come to you when restarting OS.
