Disk imagers in PE/SE: Basic build info - Comparison - News

...

You are right. I just checked again, and mounting works fine, but creating backup images depends on ambakdrv.

Loadrv.exe should be able to do it. I don't know what commands the installer gives it.

...

64 bit files are included so it can create 64 bit pe.

What you are trying to do was never the intention and is unsupported.

If I get a chance I may ask what the Ldrv commands are.

...

There was a nice reply to my questions from a moderator on the Aomei forum today:

I must say there are problems indeedly with Backupper if you want to run it in a third-party 64-bit WinPE, currently there are many relatively complicated operations needed to do if you want to add Backupper to WinPE yourself maunally.  We will release a PE edition of Backupper in the future.
The file AmCore.dll, we will modify it in future versions, please keep an eye on our updates. Thank you very much for your attention to our Backupper.

Hi Lancelot,

The first Macrium 6 versions are also becoming available. For example: Home version, 32bit:
http://updates.macrium.com/Reflect/v6/getmsi.asp?edition=0&type=0&arch=0&redirect=Y
Change "arch" to 1 for 64 bit
Change "type" to 1 for Workstation, 2 for Server, 3 for Server plus.

http://updates.macrium.com/Reflect/v6/getmsi.asp?edition=2&type=0&arch=0&redirect=Y
I changed the" type" to 2 and the link doesn't work. Is there something that I am doing wrong?
Or is it that they have not posted anything but the Home Version yet? Thanks for the help.

...

type=2 works (Server version):

http://updates.macrium.com/Reflect/v6/getmsi.asp?edition=0&type=2&arch=0&redirect=Y

Mark, you changed "edition", instead of "type"!!!

http://updates.macrium.com/Reflect/v6/getmsi.asp?edition=0&type=2&arch=0&redirect=Y
http://updates.macrium.com/Reflect/v6/getmsi.asp?edition=0&type=2&arch=1&redirect=Y
Thank, Got it.

Hi Atari800xl,

The first Macrium 6 versions are also becoming available.

Just updated my script and files for new version. Hope this helps out someone. 

http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=686.msg21215#msg21215

Just updated my script and files for AOMEI Backupper Standard 3.1 .  Tested in x86 and x64 build.
http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=1296.msg15009#msg15009   

There is a file in LOG folder called reg.log. Looks like Cantonese, but I can't make sense of it.

IFW 2.94

For Info
when you have the full Terabyte Image for Windows installed on your client, it has it's own PE Builder plugin installer,
which you run and point at your PE apps folder and it generates this script which has always worked  perfectly for me.
I appreciate you need the program installed in the first place, but the script might help somebody

the identical script has worked in the last five or six update versions of IFW on the win 8.1se/win8pe se and win7pe se projects
that i use it with.

I was able to add a few things to my script. I place the script in this folder
Win8.1SE\Projects\MyPlugins_Direct\Apps\HD Tasks\Imaging

Hi APT,

just looking codes, well it would never work "perfect" with win 8.1se/win8pe se with default builder settings,
 registry lines are wrong and should give error (depricated years ago) , some lines should not work, and some lines "ugly" (did not check)....

use Mark's plugin



@Mark,

Mark, you are faster than me,
I could not find topic of your plugin (I had in my folder), can you create one with
Contact=??????????????????????
pWebLabel2="Plugin Page",1,10,20,267,200,18,??????????????????????
 

things noticed:
at [Launch_Program] you can use
Call,HostOSArch
to launch x86/x64 
+
you can see some code examples wiith Utils\Provide Files - multiarch .......

Lancelot

I'd hate to disagree with a baker of your calibre 
but that is the exact script created by the IFW program direct  onto my Win81PESE and has worked many times in a real life backup and restore
never having had a single error 

Hi APT,

I believe, it is the success of application since it has a portable soul 
 as a result,
  plugin* they offer do not fully work ok, you can see errors/warnings about this plugin* (not application*) on builder log when you build,
  but since files copied correctly by that plugin, application* works following its portable soul 
   (maybe some options you do not use not work !!!! ;) , I don't use terabyte    )

shortly: plugin not fully ok - application ok since it is copied by that plugin


well, using Mark plugin would be better since:
 + it follows that plugin + adds .TBI assocation + adds x64 support + and probably other things   

**
ps: you can test plugins by using green play button
See: FAQ http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=834.0
Q: How to use / test plugin after build ? (green play etc.)

and check log....
