Windows 7 GPT UEFI backup

Thread needs solution

Hello, I wasn't able to find an answer to my issue so I have to ask here. I have Windows 7 64bit installed on GPT disk. I made Acronis 2013 bootable rescue media. The thing is, when I try to boot from this USB in UEFI only, it hangs on "Loading, please wait..." and nothing happens (even if I had set vga=ask) - it seems like it has some problem with graphic (I have ATI AMD 6630M & Intel HD 3000 - switchable on my laptop).

When I boot as Legacy, it boots fine but it doesn't have an option to back 100 MB EFi and 128 MB MSR partition at all.

May I ask if it's possible to backup all three (EFI, MSR and Win7) partitions, please?

Michstav, you are doing the right thing (disable secure, enable legacy). When you backup select the entire disk. I don't know why the boot CD shows a MBR+track0 option but no EFI/MSR partition. I have a question out to ACronis.
