Recover New Dell XPS 15 from True Image backup

Thread needs solution

I followed the steps from the Tuttle threads. When I tried to restore my Dell XPS 15, after the recovery I got a blue screen and windows could not start. I had to use Dell recovery disks to build my system.
I am using True Image 2013 by Acronis Standard. Can someone guide me on recovery.
Also, clarify the following:
1. Any one tried to successfully restore the whole system for New Dell XPS 15.
2. While taking backup in disk mode, should I include the 32GB SSD in the backup or should I just take disk backup of the 750GB disk?
3. Does my version of Acronis support full disk backup and recovery. from the last failed attemps I feeling like I should leave this product, but I wanted to do one last try before I discard this.

1. Yes, many times.
But, full recovery depends upon you creating the right type of backup: a full disk mode backup, selecting the checkbox for the entire disk (not checkboxes for individual partitions). That's the mistake many users make: they don't make a full disk mode backup, so from then on a full disk recovery isn't possible.

2. If the SSD is your OS, it must be included for you to be able to perform a full recovery. You can do that either in a single backup or in separate full disk mode backups.

3. Yes, of course.

Create a full disk mode Backup. Select the checkbox for the entire disk (not just individual partitions). For this option, switch to disk mode (upper right blue link) until you see disks and not partitions to select. Select the disk. That ensures that you have everything you need, and you won't need to understand how the disk is laid out with possible hidden partitions. A full disk mode Backup captures everything, and is the simplest, safest backup method.

A full disk backup ensures that you have everything, without needing to understand how the disk is laid out. It also ensures that the MBR and disk signature are included.

I have instructions for backup which you gave me in another thread.. I am looking for recovery instructions. Also, you don't have the new xps where it has hybrid drives. . The news xps has a normal hard drive and ssd drive which acts cache for Windows
