Differences among System, Disk and Partition backups?
I guess three of them are all disk backups. The differences are:
System Backup can backup a phisical/logical disk where OS is located. The backup result contains GPT/MBR information.
Disk Backup can backup a phisical disk which may contains more than one partition/volume. Also, the result can contain GPT/MBR information.
Partition Backup can backup one or multiple partitions (logical disks).
I am not sure if my guesses are true? And if Partition Backup result includes GPT/MBR information?

I have a similar question. I have created a system backup of a windows 8.1 laptop, when I take an identical laptop I hoped that the restore would build both partitions (system reserve and windows 8), but it does not. I would rather not rebuild the partitions before I restore the image. It gets complicated and I wanted to use your tool restore an image on a laptop that shipped with windows 7, but I want the windows 8 image.
Thanks for any help!
I have created a system backup of a windows 8 laptop and followed the instructions to restore the backup to an identical laptop, I receive the following error. The selected destition is too small (298.09 GB unallocated vs 298.73 GB required). I have used diskpart to delete the existing partitions. Please help! I need to find a solution to roll out a single image to identitical laptops.
Thanks.
