I have used R&R a few times on a W500 and Vista. By default, it "backed up" all partitions to DVDs. I did some work with the partitions (so I could install OS/2 and Linux) by shrinking the Vista ones. When I went to do the restore, I ended up with a non-bootable system (the drive partition letters had been changed!). I called tech support and got no where. I have trashed those DVDs. I am very glad that I used DFSee to copy the entire internal disk drive to a USB external disk (restores from that external via DFSee worked fine). --- Fred J.
