if what you'd be restoring afterwards were a Disk image that would overwrite what you restored first.Ĭould anyone who's already figured this one out for sure for themselves relate what's actually going on here? Of course, if that were the case, then their advice about separately backing up the "System Reserved" partition so it can be restored first would make no sense. But the fact that they are mentioning it makes me wonder if what they really mean to say is that Local > Disk > (target) backups will exclude the "System Reserved" partition. So it seems pointless that they're even mentioning this at all.

anyone doing a Local > Partition > (target) backup would realize from looking at the partition list that there were two Windows 7-related partitions on their drive requiring imaging, and that they'd therefore needed to two Local > Partition > (target) backup operations in total.)

See, the reason I'm confused is, it's obvious that a Local > Partition > (target) backup of the Windows 7 OS partition wouldn't also simultaneously include the "System Reserved" partition, because with this type of backup operation, you only select one partition for imaging per backup operation in the first place. BEST PRACTICE: Take a disk image (default create image task settings) of a Windows 7 machine.Īre they saying that a Local > Disk > (target) backup won't include the "System Reserved" partition, and that I'll have to manually do a Local > Partition > (target) backup of it separately after doing a Local > Disk > (target) image? During the system restore, the System Reserved Partition has to be restored before restoring the OS partition. An image of this partition has to be created separately. Ghost by default does not save the System Reserved Partition which is created during Windows 7 operating System installation.
