Backing up and restoring 2 discs at once.
Windows 10. with a programme SSD and a 1 TB Storage disc for docs/pics etc.
I use Backerupper.
When selecting to make an image of my two discs I select both 'C' and 'D'at the same time.....the above mentioned discs.
Is this correct or do I need to select and image them seperately to be able to restore them.
Something I have just thought about!!!!

You can put both in one image. But that is not practical at all!
Normally you would only want to restore your system disk C if any problem comes up.
And any missing or accidentally erased data on your disk D could easily be retrieved with the "explore image" option.
If you put both disks in one image a restore would take a very, very long time if your only purpose is to do a system restore of drive C. And you might also accidentally overwrite newer docs or pictures on your disk D.
So better: make separate images for system disk C and data disk D.
In that way you could do weekly incremental backups of disk C and daily incremental backups of drive D...
Thank you,
It's completely logical as you suggest.
Apart from age I can't understand why I was so wrong in my thoughts!
I have 3 PCs so will start backing up again in earnest!
Cheers
Thank renehoss for your specific suggestions. It is very right, there another thing we will tell all your guys. When you choose to do the partition backup for the C drive not the system backup, when you do the restore, the system will not bootable, you just get the data.
My first two words were :-Thank you!?
I normally do a 'disc image' back up which I assumed was the correct action to enable me to restore a disc?
Disk backup is the best way for you.
