Hi,

Actually you can create an IBV device as large as a hard drive, however, the best option to do this is to use DiskBridge device.

At the moment there is no feature that would combine a disk bridge feature and IBV.

What you can do is create an IBVolume as large as a hard drive. If you select to create snapshots, make sure to save them some place else (not to the same HD), cause it makes sense that there will simply be no space for the snapshots.

Thanks
