    Hi all,

    I was using Clonezilla/DRBL for some time and it have an option very convenient for Windows imaging named “rm-win-swap-hib”

    rm-win-swap-hib: Removes the page and hibernation files in Windows partitions if exists (NTFS / FAT). This speed up Image creation and restore procces.

    Skipping those files may speed up cloning / restore process without causing any harm plus smaller final image size.

    You could check the Clonezilla script to get an idea about how this works:
    src: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/blob/master/sbin/ocs-rm-win-swap-hib

    NOTE: delete page and hibernation files should be secure, but sometimes this files may be necessary (for example, if system go to hibernation instead of shutdown… etc)

      @alv000h FOG already removes page files (swap) and hibernation files on capture.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

            I like to solve them so I know which Feature Request’s have been completed. No this does not mean it needs a question flag.
