How do I know my complete HD with bootcamp is backed up?

Thread needs solution

Just trying the program and I see that the size of the backup is smaller than the total HD with bootcamp.

I have no way of knowing if the backup included bootcamp with windows on it.?

Craig, welcome to these User Forums.

Please see KB 61642: Acronis True Image 2019: how to back up entire computer - which covers both Windows and Mac systems.

Ok  I assume I did back up the entire hard drive.. Just wondering why when you add up the original data and the backed up data its off by about 55 gig.?

Craig, I am not an expert when it comes to the Mac products as do not own a Mac or use one.  For Windows, it can be easy to account for this type of discrepancy in size by looking at the sizes of the default exclusions, i.e. pagefile.sys, hiberfil.sys, swapfile.sys and the System Volume Information folders (all of which are excluded as get rebuilt by Windows on boot if missing).

You may need to ask in the dedicated Acronis True Image for Mac Forum to get advice from other experienced Mac users.
