Newbie Question

Thread needs solution

Hi All,

I just downloaded the software a few minutes ago and am running my first backup right now. I followed the brief instructions in the opening screen of the program. I selected the "version chain" backup method with daily backups. I am backing up my C drive right now. Basic question - Will everything be backed up with this method? Is there anything that I will have to do in addition to this, or will this method back up everything on the C drive (i.e., all of my documents, photos, music, files, emails, and firefox bookmarks)?

Thanks!
Rick

Check out the many user guides and tutorials in the left margin of this forum, particularly Getting Started and Grover's True Image Guides which are illustrated with step-by-step screenshots.

A full disk backup, selecting the disk checkbox rather than individual partitions, includes everything. This is safer than selecting only C:.

This will get you started on with a "disk image" backup which will include everything on your disk.
