Acronis True Image 2014- System Backup
I've just done a clean install of Windows 7 64 onto an SSD. I now want to make a full backup so that I can use to restore the entire system. Can anyone recommend an approach to this? Is it as as simple as using the defaults in "Disk and Partition Backup"?
Thanks
Keith

In addition of my signature link 2A already recommended by MVP ShadowSport,

----------------------------------------------------------
Depending upon the type of backup scheme you wish to create, here is an example of each type. These can be set up for Disk image, or Partiton, or Files-folders backups. These example show how to set up automatic cleanup so the program will do the deletion after it reaches your set goal of how many chains to retain.
Editing an existing task is not recommended. Better to start with a new task using a new non-identical task name and point to a new storage sub-folder so each task has it own storage folder/sub-folder.
