restore current drive to new hd

Thread needs solution

If my current hd fails can I buy a new hd then put an OS on it together with Acronis and then tell it to replace my new hd with the backup of my failed hd which I have saved on an external hd? Many thanks Rod Hall UK

If your backup of the old drive is "disk" option backup which includes all partitions on the disk, then you can use that backup to create a new replacement disk.

Check my signature index for more details.

Thanks for that. Yes the backup is of the entire C: drive that only has one partition so hopefully should work. Cheers Rod
