      Just an FYI: formatting would always erase things, but just erasing does not format. Formatting is a specific filesystem operation. So I would use erase in a discussion like this rather than format. Because technically it erases but does not format.

            It only copies the blocks in use not the empty parts of the filesystem 🙂

                    Veeam's technology is pretty impressive. This use of it is similar to StorageCraft.

                      Glad that it was so useful, both in finding solution and in providing education! It's been a very big thread with a lot of great conversation.

                                      I've heard that a lot recently. People are surprised that any community can be this active for IT.

                                            @IT-ADMIN I gave you specific screen shots of doing file level recover from an entire computer backup earlier in this thread.

                                            Before asking more questions, you may want to reread some of the earlier posts.
