Clone vs Entire PC backup
My Lenovo laptop is being sent in for warranty work and I've been warned that they may wipe out all of my installed information. I have entire PC backup but not a clone. My laptop has SSD and HHD drives. If I make a clone to an external drive, does it clone the SSD and HHD at the same time or do I need two external drives for the cloning process.
Which is more appropriate for my potential scenerio; the clone or Entire PC backup? Thanks!

I used "Entire PC" rather than "Disks and Partitions". However, if I try to add to my present backup, then I see that the two drives (SSD & HHD) are in the Entire PC backup. Should I be using "Disks and Partions"? Thanks for the help.

My suggestion would be to perfrom a Disk Mode backup of the drive that contains the OS and a files and folders backup of the other drive to an external hard drive. If the other drive has applications installed then do a disk mode backup of that drive instead of files and folders. Run these as two separate backup jobs.
