[DISCUSSION] '2nd system' bootstraps/safestraps

All,

I'm having some trouble understanding what safestrap is apparently.

I'm of the understanding that the DX and D2 straps are different than the new D3 and Bionic Safestrap offering.

This morning a member asked what the difference is between the D3Bootstrap and Safestrap. I explained what I knew, which is apparently not correct.

As far as I understood, hashcodes safestrap, when toggling from non-safe to safe mode, creates new partitions/uses existing partitions to store the original /system and /data partitions.

So, since I'm a Windows child, would be similar to upgrading from Windows 98 to XP and the 98 system being stored in /windows.old.

I would appreciate some discussion on this. Is this a so called "2nd system"? It doesn't seem to be a dual boot as you would be used to on a computer, as he isn't telling the system to boot from the new system or the old system, its just the old system is in hibernation.
