Disappointed, I find that the backup software on my Dell for creating a system image expects a hard-drive and will not work with the "64GB" Lexar Jumpdrive I just bought for that purpose. [ The capacity is sufficient even though the "64GB" designation really means 59.6GB, where a KB is 1024B. Very misleading by Lexar, because they use a mixed base number to describe the capacity: a power of 2 (64) and a power of 10 (10 to the 9th). 2 ^ 6 x 10 ^ 9 Bytes. The computer data is stated entirely as a power of 2 in the listings of files: a GB is 2 ^ 30 Bytes not 1 x 10 ^ 9 Bytes.] *
But all that is beside the point. My problem is how can I use the "64GB" Lexar Jumpdrive to store a system image that I could easily recover if my hard-drive were to fail? The factually 59.6 GB Lexar stick has enough capacity. My system is only about 47 GB large.
