I am running Vista Home Premium and Acronis True Image v11.

When carrying out a full back up I am presented with a box showing the drives to be backed up. Vista (C) is ticked by default but its Recovery partition is not. I have been ticking this as well and backing up both as a single item.

In the event that I want to restore my C drive will it automatically be restored the way I backed it up with both Vista and the Recovery partition?

Put the tick mark against Disk 1 and you will backup the entire disk. Yes, it will be restored just as it was when you made the backup.

Many thanks for that - hopefully I'll never need it but it's nice to know.:thumb:
