Does Acronis backup ALL Windows User Accounts or just the user that runs it?

Thread needs solution

I used the Disk and Partition Backup for the OS partition (not the Recovery partition). The Home Screen says I am "Fully protected". Are the other users of the computer "Fully Protected" too or do I have to log in to their accounts and run this again? I am about to reformat the Hard Drive, but I want to be sure that ALL WINDOWS USER ACCOUNTS are going to be included in this backup when I go to restore it. I cannot find the answer to this question anywhere.

If you backed up the entire Windows partition, everything on the partition is included. This means that any users accounts along with their files are included (with the exception of any user folders moved to another partition).

Have you booted to the TI CD and made sure TI can successfully see all the drives correctly and successfully validate the backup image? If not, it's a good idea to do so before reformatting the drive.

In addition, you can Mount the image and look and see if everything is there or if something seems to be missing.
