My system vs. Local disk (C:) backup
I'm using the 2011 edition of Acronis True Image Home and haven't had any problems making the backups, but haven't had to restore anything yet. My question......Two backups, My system and Local disk (C:), are written to my external backup disk drive and they are of identical size (43 GB). Are these duplicates, and are they both needed? My purpose for these backups is to be able to recover from a crash, not to archive data. Thanks for your help. - Dave

Colin - Thanks for your response, you were right, they were duplicates. In the future I'll go directly to the Home screen and select "Disk and partition backup", which I think will provide me the ability to recover from a crash. Again, thanks for your help, you saved me lots of disk space. - Dave
