Few questions about backing up the OS
- by user23950
I'm running windows 7 with 2gb memory and 2.50 Ghz dual core cpu. here are my question regarding backing up an entire drive. I plan to use Macrium Reflect because its free. And I can't afford to buy one.
If I backup a hard drive would I only be able to backup the partition where the operating system is?
If I have installed applications which requires activation keys, and I have already installed an activation key. Does backing the hard drive also backup those application, so that I won't have to re-apply the keys later?
If I have a multi-boot system, would the backup also include those other OS that are installed in my hard drive? Can I still boot into them after restoring the image?
Do you have any links there that could enlighten me on what drive backup really is.
Thanks!
