Backup Windows 11

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I was wondering which partitions you should and should not backup from the C-partition?

You need to backup the C Partition, plus the recovery partition and the UEFI partition, as the PC needs all of these to work correctly. I only have OS + applications on my C partition, and the drive itself has no other partitions other than the UEFI and recovery partitions. Data is save on other drives.

PS Not sure if ATI 2019 will work with Windows 11. At present no version ATI or its "replacement" Cyber Protect Home Office is designed to work with Windows 11. A new build of Cyber Protect Home Office is promised that will support Windows 11 - no ETA yet.

All hidden / system partitions plus the C: OS partition are required to do a successful recovery so should be included in the backup.

ACPHO build 39620 is working with Windows 11 but Acronis do not support any earlier versions of ATI 2021 and below for working with Windows 11 and has not tested such combinations.

Rene, personally I would include the whole disk given that you are including only 1 GB total for the hidden / system partitions!  The actual compressed size of those partitions is likely to be only half of the size, if that!

I would suspect that the Unnamed partition with 0.4 of 0.5 GB used is an old Recovery Partition left over from a previous Windows install or upgrade, the Door systeem gereserveerd partition is the required Microsoft System Reserved partition 100MB.  The Recovery and EFI System and System Reserved partitions should always be included.
