Backup conflict Question

Thread needs solution

I am using True Image (PC) 2016.  I use  nonstop  backup to backup my data ( documents etc) and would like to add a second drive to periodically ( every 3-6 months) run disc image as a total drive  backup.  Will running disc image cause an issue with nonstop backup working properly?

Flybob,

It should not as each should be configured as separate tasks, one task for the non-stop and another for the periodic total drive backup.

I might also suggest taking that period backup with the offline media since they would be only every so often.  It's nice to have a backup completed completley outside of Windows where there is no Windows internaction, AV, 3rd party apps, malware, etc, that could potentially cause issues.  After all, if Windows fails to boot at some point, you'll need to know how to use your offline bootable recovery media anyway to do a restore.
