Two tib files for system and data backup partitions or one?

Thread needs solution

Simple question,

What tib distribution is the best configuration, one tib file with your system partition, and one tib file with your data or partition, or one tib file that contains both?

Thanks.

Justin,

It's really just personal preference. If the single TIB size isn't too large and you don't mind having both in one file, go ahead. If it's very large, you may want to consider separate files.

I prefer to image the Windows partition and data partitions separately. They are on different drive setups (RAID 0 and RAID 1) and also different schedules. However, I usually keep "base" images of drives that include all partitions in case I want to restore back to that state.
