When to use Sector by Sector
I am having some difficulty understanding which to use when creating recovery images (Sector by Sector or simple).
I would like to know which instruction to use when associated with imaging. I have a SATA hard Disk with 30GB of SSD. When preparing for Windows 8.1 the setup created a number of small partitions (1 = NFTS, 1 = Other, 1 = FAT32) and the SSD, of 8GB is known as 'Other'.
Which do I use (1) for imaging the SSD 8GB - which is seen as Disk 2 by EasUS Partition Master and (2) for the three system generated and normal NTFS partitions seen as Disk 1 by Partition Master.
I am told that I should keep (1) and (2) quite separate when creating image plans. I am very hopeful that forum users with far more knowledge of these things will guide and direct me.
Edited... I make the query as the result of an understanding that simple settings should only use when Acronis knows of the partition type, i.e. NTFS, FAT32 etc. Sector by Sector should be used when corrupt partitions are known by users or unknown partition types i.e. 'Other' are to be imaged.
You will see, from the detail above that there is 1 'other' partition type on Disk 2 and that the main disk (Disk 1) also has 1 'other' type partition.
I await expert advice with much interest.
Many thanks
Kimbo
