What data is saved in a "Disk and Partition Backup"

Thread needs solution

I am running Windows XP on a single partition drive.
I want to back up everything on the drive and do regular updates to protect against a disk failure. In event of a disaster, I want to fully restore the drive or a similar replacement without having to reinstall all software and without losing and files.

Will "Disk and Partition Backup" save everything or just OS and programs?
Do I have to also run "File Backup" to get a complete copy of my drive?

Use Disk and partition backup and select the drive with XP on it. This will save the entire drive. You don't need to also do a File backup, though you could if you wanted to.

Make sure to Validate the backup after it's created so you know for sure TI can read it successfully. It's recommended to do this from the TI CD, if possible.

To emphasize one point MudCrab made, make sure your disk and partition backup includes *all* the partitions (ie the entire disk) of your system disk. Also, contrary to common belief, you do NOT need to choose the "sector-by-sector" option.
Finally, producing the recovery CD and testing it (for example try to restore a couple of files from the backup) is essential.

Thanks.
By Validate do you mean the built in TI function or try to boot and recover from the recovery CD?

Thanks Pat.

My configure menu list my C drive, the external drive I will use for my back up, and 2 "unnamed partitions".
The unnamed partitions don't list a drive letter. I only have 1 internal drive so I am assuming they are part of my C drive.
Curiously 1 unnamed has a FAT 16 format with .1 GB of data
The other has FAT 32 format with 2.8 GB of data
The C drive and my external are NTFS format.
Any idea what is going on there? I will include the unnamed partitions just to be safe.

Yes, include the unnamed partitions. The other partitions are recovery partitions.

Validate with the ATI built in function is a good way to increase the level of confidence the archive is good for restoring. Recovery from the CD is the best way to test the backup :-)
