Can I backup only partition content or a complete hard disc with multiple partitions+ MBR?

Thread needs solution

Ok, I know I can backup a single, certain partition to an external USB hard disc.

But is it also possible to backup a complete hard disc INCLUDING the partition structure and MBR to an external USB harddisc?

After that I want to re-partition the whole original hard disc and try to install a new win7 system.

If that fails I want to recover the previous hard disc structure completely from external USB hard disc.

Is this possible from Acronis bootable CD ?

Which menu do I have to click/perform to achieve such a multi-partition-plus-part-table-backup?

Yes, TrueImage Home can do what you want to do.
Boot from the CD (or from within Windows) and in the selection of what to backup, checkmark the disk and all partitions will become automatically checked as per this illustration .

==========================================
Should you need to restore, again boot from the CD; Open TrueImage and browse to the backup being restored.
Checkmark the disk as the what to restore. This is illustrated per this link below.
