System Restore says not enough space on destination HD

I'm trying to do a System Restore (created in Backupper 2.8) using a bootable restore CD (created using 1.6). However despite the fact I'm restoring to the same hard drive the system image was created from, it complains that the destination is too small.


It says the system restore image requires 74.64GB but the destination is only 74.5GB - yet it is the same physical hard drive! Is this an issue with the restore CD or the image? Or is it a general issue with System Restore?

    Found the problem. It was due to me using an older version (1.6) of the bootable restore media (CD) than the version of Backupper (2.8) used to create the system image. I created a bootable USB memory stick using v2.8 and it is now happily doing a system restore.

  • Glad to hear it worked finally. That maybe because the v2.8 is more accurate at estimating the space required.
