This version adds capability to explore partition in command line interface
mode and to execute scripts with explore mode. Other changes are detailed into file giving list of changes. A new tool is also released: Partition-Explorer. It allows low level edition of filesystem. It is not directly related to Partition-Saving and is reserved to people that knows what they do because you can easily damage your filesystem with such a tool. You can get more details about it through its manual. |
06/02/2013 | A new version of Partition-Saving (V4.10) was released on June 2nd.
This version adds 64 bits versions for Linux and Windows, it takes into account
the new swap file "swapfile.sys" added by Windows 8 and clears begin of swap files
when restoring a backup done without swap files. Other changes are detailed into file giving list of changes. |
05/05/2012 | A new version of Partition-Saving (V4.00) was released on May 5th.
This version adds support for raw files and detection of more kind of devices in Linux version. Other changes are detailed into file giving list of changes. |
02/27/2011 | I have added a small tutorial on how to use the Windows installation DVD to use the Windows version of Partition-Saving. You can read it here. |
03/09/2010 | A new version of Partition-Saving (V3.90) was released on September 3rd.
This version adds support for GUID partitions table (new partitions table
format to take into account disk of more than 2 TB). Another major change is that disk identifier stored into MBR is now restored when restoring partitions table instead of being restored when restoring MBR (this is to have same behaviour between MBR partitions table and GUID partitions table). Linux binaries use now ".run" extension instead of ".exe" to avoid mess with some distributions that consider ".exe" files are compressed files. Other changes are detailed into file giving list of changes. |
12/07/2009 | A new version of Partition-Saving (V3.80) was released on December 7th. This version adds support for ext4 filesystem and a correction to update the resize inode of ext2/ext3 partitions when restoring to a partition bigger than saved one. A new way to choose the partition to save and the one having backup file has been added with scanning all partitions to find some marker files (see chapter 22 of manual). A change has also been performed to allow updating drive letter into registry of Windows 7. Some other changes have been done and are detailed into file giving list of changes. |
02/27/2009 | A new version of Partition-Saving (V3.71) was released on February 27th. This version corrects a problem that disallows creating files when using DOS version within Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista (as to pre-create files on an NTFS partition). It adds also a workaround to the DOS network redirector that removes distant directory in case this one is empty. Thanks to Sébastien Willemijns and Dirk F. Kapelle to have signaled this two problems. |
01/18/2009 | A new version of Partition-Saving (V3.70) was released on January 18th.
Major change is that it is first Linux version (DOS and Windows versions still existing).
There is some constraints on this version (see
chapter 28 of manual), notably
Linux version cannot save an active partition (for this you
need a LiveCD). I cannot test this
version on all Linux distributions and versions, mostly for 64 bits versions.
All versions are into the same file that does not need any installation (just uncompress it into a directory). Others evolutions are:

05/31/2008 |
The BartPE plugin has been updated to avoid menu entries to be disabled in
case test for directory existence fails (it seems to depend on versions).
Thanks to Phil Charlestek to have signalled this problem to me.
Another change is the HTML documentation is opened with default browser instead of using firefox plugin (obviously an HTML browser is needed and shall be configured to open HTML files). You can get this version with reading this page. |
05/11/2008 | An ISO version of the boot floppy disk is generated to create a bootable CD-ROM with spartbdk content. So you have choice between using this version (CD is already created but adding files is not easy) or using the .img file published with spartbdk (you need to know how to create bootable CD with your CD burning software). A plugin for BartPE is also created to easily integrate the Windows version of program into this software. You can get more details on it with reading this page. |
03/29/2008 | When creating Windows version, documentation was only partially updated to
take this version into account. Documentation has been modified to better take
it into account. Note: Only HTML version of documentation has been updated, text version delivered with program will be updated with next version. |

08/25/2007 | A new version of Partition-Saving (V3.50) was released on August 25th.
Major change is that it is first Windows version (DOS version still existing).
There is some differences between these versions (see
chapter 27 of manual), notably
Windows version cannot save full disk or active system partition (for this you
need a
WinPE
or BartPE CD). I cannot test this
version on all Windows version, but, less for the 64 bits Windows for which
I cannot perform any test (it is better you perform some try before if you
want to use the Windows version on these Windows versions), differences between
versions shall not be a problem. Both versions (DOS and Windows ones) are into
the same file that does not need any installation (just uncompress it
into a directory). Others evolutions are:
|
05/04/2007 | A bootable floppy disk based on FreeDOS and with Partition Saving is available since the 4th of May. You can read its documentation to get more details and go to the download page to load it. |
