Still working on Server 2022 #31

I'm here just to thank you for this utility.

It is very simple to use from the command line and is the main core for my automated virtual machines backup scripts for Virtualbox along with CloneVDI. It is working on W10 and Server 2022. I can't say if W11 is working with it (I suppose) as I think W11 is not ready for working so I'm not touching it even with a pole. :-/ I have been using it from XP to server 2022 so it has a very long story for compatibility. The trending of compiling things with the most recent 'items' is against my philosophy of trying to make things work with the less needed resources. The prior will make apps useless to totally working machines today. One example is W11 that will render very capable hardware useless with the arbitrary decision of FORCING every security option on my bought by my money hardware turned on. My hardware, my decision. I don't need to be babysitted.

This software is an example of things done right.

Thank you for this utility.

I can confirm that it works just fine in Windows 11...

I'm hoping it keeps working for another couple of Windows desktop and server editions. 😁

It has been rock solid for me, and I've been using it extensively since July of 2019.
