Removing HD and backing up as removable disk - can i still restore as system disk?

Thread needs solution

For various reasons (its locked down) I cant install the agent on a machine I want to backup.

If I remove the HD from the laptop in question, stick it in a USB disk caddy, connect to another machine with sw installed, can I back it up as a bootable disk that way? will it still give me the option to save boot sector stuff?

Hello Paul,

Yes, you will be able to backup this hard drive, the MBR will be included into the backup archive. You will be able to recover the MBR separately if you select the Restore disks and partitions option during the recovery.

Thank you.
