I played around with a beta copy of the snapimage, and it was fairly easy
to install (on windows klik setup next next, you get the picture.... )
The fun part was making it work proberly...

The raw partition is correct but (5%+ of size of the backed up data !) is
not accurate size for your raw device.... The amount of space needed on
your raw device depends upon how much data changes when the snapimage is
getting the backup done.... I belive Legato recomends 5% and in most cases
it will be enough.

If your system makes really huge amounts of changes while the snaimage
backup is getting done expect your raw device to use more space.

Yes, I saw that. Amazing!

The other thing which is amazing is that legato
say that only they can install it and it takes
5 days!
