Paula Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hi forum-I routinely back up my entire PC to an external HDD using Norton Ghost 9.0. Will this serve to protect my SS library? Or do I still need to use the SS Back Up tool to ensure that restoration of my tunes would actually work because of the DRM issues...Thanks.Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 This might be a confusing answer, because I simply don't know, haven't tested this, and have not heard of anyone else testing it.It's possible that backing up your entire hd using ghost or the like might maintain your DRM info, since all the relevant places forwhat it needs to work right [the windows registry, ss's drm library and settings files, &c.] are all backed up together.I would NOT trust this without testing it, myself. If you have the time, backing up your library to another drive with the SS tool and then restoring your ghost backup would be the [safe] way to find out.

Ryzir Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I have tested this and no it does not work. You have to use the backup tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
