New to Acronis

Thread needs solution

I set up Acronis on a couple of PCs.  The backup has completed and it shows totals by category.  Does the System and Others categories include all system and applications to enable a complete restore to the backup state in the event of a total hardware failure?

Joseph, welcome to these public User Forums.

If you have made either an 'Entire PC' or else a 'Disks & Partitions' backup of your PC OS disk drive, then this captures the whole OS and all installed applications and user data.

To recover such a backup in a 'bare-metal' scenario, i.e. disk replacement after a disk failure, you need to have created the Acronis Rescue Media to use to boot the PC in order to do the restore to the new disk drive.

Disk backups are created at a disk sector level of all used sectors on the drive, so capture everything on the drive.
