some basic questions

I'll attempt to answer some of these questions, at least partially.

1. Booting from a USB stick (or any other bootable media) can take some time, but it should not take forever. There may be something wrong - the issue is figuring out what is wrong. You could try the following:

-Remake the bootable rescue media, perhaps with different USB stick. They are not all equivalent.

-You may have to experiment with startup parameters (as described on p. 127 of the User's Guide, the parameters listed on page 198) Using acpi=off is one of the more common startup parameters which helps with this sort of problem.

-If you have the ability to do so (you have not described your system - desktop, laptop, ?) you can make a bootable CD, preferably by creating the ISO file and burning it to a CD. You can also download an ISO image file from your account, burn this to a CD, and try that version.

-If you have a wireless mouse or keyboard, sometime this can be a problem. Again, I have no idea what your system is.

2. The bootable rescue media is a means to run True Image independently of any installed operating system. What happens it as follows: a) a ramdisk is created, b) a Linux kernel is loaded into the ramdisk and executed, and c) True Image is run. This description is for the bootable media versions made by the bootable media builder or the downloaded ISO image file from your account. It does not allow recovery of a Windows system with nothing backed up. It run True Image, allowing backup and recovery operations to be carried out independently of any installed operating system.

3. Before any backup is made, you need to have a fully working version of bootable rescue media which works flawlessly on your system (boots properly, all drives recognized, etc.). After you have a solid bootable rescue media version (some combination of USB, CD, Linux, BartPE, WinPE), you can then do a whole disk backup (all partitions), from which a system recovery can be made.

I noticed I can boot through F11 ..could this be instead of rescue media?

btw how long it takes to backup my whole C drive?(it's 14 giga)

I don't use the boot through F11. What happens is your disk barfs and you cannot boot at all? You should always have a fully tested bootable rescue media before any backups are made.

Many variable are involved in backup times, so I can't give an estimate. With my setup, backup of ~80 GB takes somewhat over an hour for the backup part, but I always do a validation immediately after the backup. Your results may vary.

I don't have enough space to make fully backup...most of the times my system failed to load is as result of currupt important file ...

what I want to do is like the build in option in the windows...assuming some files deleted or my pc got infected I just restore my system few days before(where it's was ok) and that's all...but if my system fails to load this is a problem and I can't restore...so if you see it I just want to restore to point where anything was fine ..I don't want to backup my whole drive.
so which other option I got to restore my windows to this point?

With disk drives as cheap as they are today, not having enough space is not an excuse. If you have a laptop, or don't feel like adding another internal disk into a desktop, get a USB external for backups.

You don't have to backup your whole drive, but you will have to backup the entire C: partition. Not sure how your disk is setup, so can't answer any better than that. If you only have one partition (C:) then you will have to backup the entire drive unless you repartition into multiple partitions.

For system partition restore (C:) you will need the boot disk (or USB) because you can't restore an operating system while running that operating system (you'll be writing over the software running the OS when you do the restore). You can do backups of the system partition while running in the OS however.

Make sure after doing your first backup that you can actually boot into the rescue CD or USB, and progress with the restore operation (you can cancel it at the last minute before actually doing anything permanent). Ask questions here as you go, lots of people can answer any questions you might have.
