ATI 2021, question about C partition backup

Thread needs solution

If I have only one SSD, partition C and D, is it possible to create a backup of C partition, on D ?

Thank you

It is possible to do so. However, if the SSD fails you will have no backup. If you do so, you should also backup to another medium such as a USB HDD, a NAS (network attached storage) or the Acronis Cloud. You can also backup to an SD card. I back up my NUC to a 500gb micro SD card.

You should also include in the backup the two hidden partitions, one for UEFI information and the other the Windows recovery partition.

The advantage of using an SD card is that if you leave in in the SD slot it is always with you; however, if the computer is lost, you have also lost your backup.

Thanks. I have an external HDD, for backup, just in case
