Need very simple help
Windows7... I want to prepare for a boot drive crash... C:
I want a complete image of C: saved to D: and a boot CD so I can access it.
TI-13 is installed and I see 2 types of backup, Disk and Partition.
Which is a complete image? Disk, Partition, or both?
I assume after backing one or both of these using "Create bootable media" on a CD will give me post crash access to the image? on D: for complete recovery?
Thanks for any clarity.

My recommendations:
1. A disk image backup and this will include all partitions or everything. This link shows what to select. If you want more help with backups or backup tasks/schemes, checkout the other links inside that same link. All backups are initiated from within a backup task.

2. You can also perform the same type backup when booted from the TrueImage Bootable Media CD (or Flash Drive).
3. One of your first priorities is to create the bootable media either to CD or Flash Drive.
4. Be sure you have registered your 2013 serial number with Acronis.
