Currently I'm creating a backup of one of my hard drives. It's my main hard drive, where the operating system is running on. Because the backup is done during full operation I'm asking me if the backup really includes all files (registry, ...). Can I restore the backup on another hard drive and then run the operating system again without problems?

Normally I would say that you have to boot from a CD (without running OS) to make a backup.

I made a Google research but I didn't found my case so far.
