Here are the noptes I made. Note that the first section is for making a
backup without recordings to the PC, but the last section is what I did to
copy to a fresh drive with recordings.
WinMFS Beta Build 8:
File -> Select Drive {choose the original drive, note the number WinMFS
assigns to each drive for later steps}
File -> Backup -> Tivo Drive (Truncated) ... {backs up the drive
(without recordings) to the PC}
Tools -> Mfscopy {ignore warning "about to overwrite Dos or Windows
Drive"}
Choose destination drive (use drive number noted earlier)
Deselect Custom Linux Swap
Start
When it completes. say yes to expanding to use the extra capacity
For copying a 160GB drive this took ~1:40 (h:m)
I can confirm that recordings were copied. I can't confirm that this will
let me expand again when the 10TB drives come out ;-)
