Is windows generated recover image necessary?

Thread needs solution

The creation of the windows recover image is slow and occupies a lot of space.

Is it necessary when we have the Acronis disk backup and recovery disk?

Antonio, welcome to these User Forums.

The option to create a Windows system image is a matter of personal preference for most users.  This is an additional backup option that some users may want to use to give them the option to recover from such using the Windows recovery control panel, where you also see the option to do a Startup Repair, System Restore etc.

If you are making a full disk & partitions backup image with ATI 2018 of your Windows OS drive, then you should not need to also create the Windows system image, as you can recover without using that method.  

Please do ensure that you have also created and tested that you can use the Acronis bootable Rescue Media, as if you ever have a drive failure (HDD or SSD) then this will become your best friend for doing a recovery using your ATI backup data.
