ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support
Submitted by brian on Mon, 2009-12-14 23:47.
I just posted a beta version of ABR with Windows 7 support. I have not been able to test it myself (no access to OEM Windows 7 at the moment), but I have had a few beta testers who reported it worked correctly.
Give it a try if you are willing to help test it and please let me know how it goes.
When you run the backup, you should have 2 new files created in the folder, "backup-key.txt" and "backup-cert.xrm-ms". Make sure both files contain something, then save everything to a safe place before you clean install.
Thanks for the update! I have access to a retail and OEM copies of Windows 7 Home Premium edition. I'll run a full activation backup/restore and see how it turns out.
Is there anything in particular you'd like me to test?

Is this "just" Win 7, or both Win 7 and Vista?
BTW, great work!
It should work for both Win7 and Vista.
I have not been able to test it myself but I have had a few beta testers who reported it worked correctly.
I've just tried it out on my windows 7 OEM home premium x64 laptop. And it worked GREAT.
Thanks a lot
