Restore Image Size Issue

Forgot to shrink the Windows NTFS FS before taking a backup.

Any way I can use this image for a restore rather than using a previous shrunk image that will need a load of patches & software adding.

The bootcamp disk is only 50% full.

Actually thinking about it it will be easy to do a restore to a larger spinning iron disk, shrink the disk and then backup the image again :slight_smile:

if you use file-based imaging, you don’t need to shrink since it is file-based versus block-based.
