      Okay yes. A system level restore does a full erase either by wiping the drive while applying a full image or by doing a block level rollback. In both cases it is effectively an entire erasure of the system.

        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.

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