Cloning my internal HDD
Hi Guys:
My knowledge is quite basic, so forgive my ignorance, please. I want to clone my current internal disk to an external one as a precautionary measure, in case of failure. For your information, the external disk is a Western Digital Elements 1TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive and I'll be using a rather old version (2008) of True Image: Acronis True Image 11
I'd appreciate your help with the following: I understand that I can clone my internal HDD (i.e. all its information, including the installed operating systems, data, etc.) using two methods: manual and automatic. The manual method gives the option to remove or keep all information from the internal disk but what about the automatic method: will it keep it (or remove it) automatically?
Thanks for your help!

Pat L,
Many thanks for your reply. Just to be sure, could you confirm for me please, that using partition backup will allow me to restore all the information stored in the internal HDD — that is, installed operating system, data, software, etc. — in case the internal disk fails?
Thanks again.

Yes, it will. Make sure you select all partitions and/or the entire disk checkbox when you select what to backup.
