Restoring only efi partition correctly (all necessary data it needs)

Thread solved

Currently if I restore only one partition at a time with Acronis the efi (SYSTEM) partition is missing some data, side note restoring whole drive works however.

But my question is:

If I used bcdedit /export c:\bcd.bak first (meaning a month ago for example before a restore is needed) and latter on a blank formatted 260MB formatted fat32 partition did the following:

bcdboot C:\windows /s G: /f UEFI // where G is the assigned drive letter for the efi partition

//// this restores booting

Then after that step run bcdedit /import c:\bcd.bak

bcdedit /import c:\bcd.bak    //// restores original bcd

Does that actually restore that partition to the correct STATE? Meaning any information that was there prior is now back.

Or would it still be missing some critical data that was there before?  WIll the efi partition recognize the windows recovery partition, or am I missing another needed command?

I have a support ticket at Acronis on this.

 

Note:

The above steps do work and it boots just fine, but would something be missing like how to find the recovery (Windows not Acronis) partition?

Actually not a duplicate, in those post I was describing a problem.

In current post I am asking if I am restoring it correctly myself.
