Compatability Issues
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2019 2:48 am
Hi Guys,
I am trying out Primocache and am very impressed! Before I make the purchase I'm wondering if people are finding compatability issues with disk imaging and defragging software. I'm using Macrium Reflect v7 and O&O Defrag 22. I did a search on the forum posts and found some posts about backup image software creating broken backups if the "write deferred" option was on the disk being backed up. Those posts were a couple of years old. Maybe that was fixed by now. Just recently there was a post by BonzaiDuck about Macrium breaking with both L1 and L2 cache being used on a spinner disk (although L1 only on the boot disk being imaged seemed to work okay).
So if I stick to L1 read only caching on the boot disk, and image that, is that pretty safe? ...Or is there some risk that the backup might not work?
Thanks,
Robert
