Acronis help
I am getting ready to install X1b. I bought Acronis 2011 in order to get a system image before I start. Acronis has three methods for disk backup (not including files and folders).
- “Disk/Partition”
- “System”
- “Disk Method”
I am going to use all three just to me safe.
Can anyone tell me if there is a difference and which one you use. It is very confusing.
Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,
I'd backup the entire C: disk (including MBR).
Also, make sure you run msconfig (Microsoft Configuration Utility - Startup Tab) to shut down the scheduling services that Acronis installs.

That is what I was trying to say. There are three terms and three ways to back up C:. I am wondering which is the best. By the way what is MBR? Thanks for the tip on shutting down the services. Tom

May I ask why? I thought this is necessary for any Acronis image creation task to occur, whether it is scheduled or started manually.

I don't like extraneous things running in the background... (managing tasks that don't need to be managed)  I take it one step further... and do all my backup/restore via the True Image Bootable Rescue CD. True Image need not actually be installed on the DAW. You can create/restore any backup image this way...
