Full disk back up or separate system and partition backups?
For AOEMI Backup Pro:
If I take regular full disk backups (ie. MBR + factory reset + C + D partitions), does that mean I must restore the whole image if something goes wrong with Windows or my disk drive? I can't choose which partition to restore from a disk backup, can I?
If I have to restore the whole image, then maybe I'm better to take separate system backups (MBR + C partition) and partition backup (D partition), so that I can restore them separately depending on what goes wrong?
If I do the separate backups, is there a way to backup and restore the hidden 'factory reset' partition, and have it function properly when I press F9 during pre-boot (Asus laptop)?
Thanks.

And even restore the 25Gb hidden factory reset partition which Asus placed on the disk?
