software182 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I want to install one of linux distribution like ubuntu or linuxmint or elementary OS alongside my Windows 8.1 with AX64 Installed. I added boot menu of AX64 to my Windows 8.1 Pro, will it make any conflict if i installed linux ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponting Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Are multi-boot systems supported? AX64 is compatible with Windows-based multi-boot systems. The only drawback is that after you boot from one OS to another and back, the following backup will take more time than normal (and the program will display a warning "External volume modification detected"). The reason is following: AX64 is constantly tracking the changed sectors on the protected volume in order to make fast backups. But when you boot into alternative OS, you may make changes to that volume and AX64 has no chance to track it. That's why if it detects that the volume has been mounted in another OS, it enters so called "re-sync" mode and that causes one following backup to take longer than normal. The backup size will still remain small. All subsequent backups will be fast. For Linux - if you modify the protected partition from a Linux OS, AX64 won't have a chance to detect it and that may result in a corrupted backup. That's why you shouldn't modify the protected drive from a Linux OS. Edited March 8, 2014 by NSFfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
