restored disk/partition backup so that it boots?

Hi,
1 - I have a PC with multiple hard drives, and when I select to backup the entire PC, does it include all the hard drives? I only want to backup the C drive.
2 - I made a backup only the C drive and all its partitions and then I attempted to do a test restore, but the hard drive would not boot, are those backups not bootable? I need to make a backup that can be restored to the hard drive in case of failure, but it must be able to boot.
Thanks for the help.

In addition to what Steve mentioned (select entire disk and all partins on that disk using the "disks and paritions" backup method), when you boot your offline bootable recovery media -make sure you boot it the same way your OS was installed (legacy if you have a legacy/MBR OS install or UEFI if you have a UEFI/GPT OS install). This will determine how Acronis formats the paritions when the data is recovered.
