- Now I'm confused. What exactly is the big file on my "drive d:"? Say I
- back it up, and then my hard disk dies. So I want to restore it to a
- new one without installing Stacker on it. What would restoring this
- one file do? Would it just give me a big file on my new hard drive?
- How would I get to my files. And if I just restore Drive C, would that
- give me my files in compressed format?
