No. It is not possible.
First of all you schedule your "backup" nightly, so when you decide to
swap
them, it is not the same time as you "left off your C drive".
Secondly, your D drive must be invisible to OS when C drive is active, yet
be able to start normally when swapped. The only way to achieve that is to
have it powered down except backup. Unless you put a programmable switch
on
D drive power line, I do not see how can one achieve that.



If the second drive was an "esata" external sata (treated as internal to the
OS) would this work since it could be disconnected?

Also, once the failing "c" drive was disconnected, would the esata boot
normally?

Do incremental backups with Ghost (dont quite know which version to use yet)
replace folders which have changed no matter if they are larger or smaller?

What i mean to say, is, if a folder is less than size because some files in
that folder have been deleted, will the cloned copy in an incremental back
up show the reduced size of that folder?
