compatibility of backed-up partition and partition on which it to be restored.

Thread needs solution

Dear Sirs! I am writing to you with the following question. I am going to use Acronis Disc director to create new partition and install another operating system. I want to make backup of the initial operating system partition. I plan to restore it on the new partition, making it active, if system installation will fail. So, please write me, whether new system partition properties should be compatible with initial one for successful restoration. Also please write if Acronis True Image home restores properties of the backed-up partition automatically.

If you want to do a system restore your probably want to do the entire disk or at least make sure you get both systems partitions used in Vista or W7, plus the MBR and disk signature. Best way to do this to back up the entire disk. You can choose what partitions to restore when you are setting up the restore. this is all covered pretty well in the user guide.

It depends on the operating systems whether you can two OSs on one hdisk and both be usable. With Win, I think win has to be installed first.
