creating 2 separated image backups in one scheduled job
Hi All,
For many years I backup a notebook with 2 disks (System & Data) using Acronis, now Version 2015.
Always using the Bootable Rescue Media on DVD without Windows-7 booted.
And always two consecutive FULL backups, each with its own image file.
Can I achieve this with one backup job only, so I don't have to wait till the 1st is finished ?
I.e. one command or schedule job, resulting in 2 separated FULL images, where the System image is bootable after a restore.
Or is it possible to do this via the installed Acronis 2015 application, but then with Windows-7 booted ?
Nice to have is an image-verify run after creating each or both images.
Thanks for advices

Thanks Steve, a quick explanation and a solution for my problem.
I should have done my homework and found this out myself.
I wasn't sure for instance if an active booted Windows-OS is a risk when creating a bootable image.
But if I understand correctly, temporary and open systemfile-dumps are not included in the image.
So one ends up with an image of the static and stable Windows software.
OK, I will study the complete manual.
Acronis appears to be a very versatile and professional backup Toolbox.
I will recommend this.

Clemens, ATI uses a snapshot method to capture files that would otherwise be unavailable to the backup task due to system locks etc. Where possible the Microsoft VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) is used but Acronis also has its own snapshot application (as was used in older versions of the product).
I only rarely make a full offline backup of my computers using the rescue media, and often this is when I am working with a suspect computer that someone has brought to me for repair where I want to capture the state before I start removing virus infections etc.
My backups made from within Windows have served me very well over many years of use.
