Any difference between Windows and Linux full backup operations

Thread needs solution

Is there any difference, benefit, advantage...to running a full backup of the C: drive via inside Windows/Acronis...or...from the Acronis Rescue Disk operation ??

Also...how do you run 'validate' followup in the Linux console ? Assuming you did not include 'validate' in the parameters for the backup ??

As far as imaging is concerned the differences are - no scheduling when using the recovery disk but on the other hand for some people the fact that Windows isn't running and interefering with the system during imaging is very beneficial.

There is the option to validate an image after completion, but you have to start it manually.

The interface is diff and the backup/restore engine itself is somewhat diff bu the results are the same. E.g., a back up or restore made by either will be identical.
