Imaging system SSD to external SSD [SOLVED]
Hi
I am planning to do a reformat and clean installation of Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) onto my (internal) Kingston HyperX 240GB (SATA 3) SSD then install my programs/drivers and use Windows Update to bring everything up to date. Doing this is a time consuming, so after I've done it I would like to image/clone (whatever its called) this SSD onto another external OCZ Vertex 120GB (SATA2) SSD which is contained in an Akasa USB3 external drive enclosure. That way in future, when necessary, I can just restore the image on the OCZ SSD back to the Kingston SSD.
Q1 - Is what I want to do possible?
Q2 - Is Acronis True Image 2013 the correct product to do it?
Q3 - If it wont work with the OCZ SSD would another standard USB2 external 500GB HDD work?
Q3 - Any pitfalls/tips to watch out for?
Many thanks.
System:
Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)
Motherboard - Asus P7P55D-E
Kingston HyperX 240GB (SATA 3) SSD
8GB RAM
NVidia Geforce GTS450 1GB DDR5

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Finally, restoring the .tib backup is just a case of booting from a CD (that you made at the time of the backup) then using a UI that appears from that to access the .tib on the external drive and restore it. You don't set the external drive itself as the boot device. Correct?
Thanks again.

Correct. Also, the Acronis True Image bootable Rescue Media may be booted either from CD-R or USB flash drive.
