Windows 7 Full Image Backup - VHD file
I have done restoring the vhd file to a partition where the original os resides. It appears also possible to restore the backup to a brand new hard drive instead. Is it correct?

Thanks for your response.
It most certainly does!
I've had cause to use this twice now, and it's faultless in it's execution.
Just make a system retore disc, and recover the disc image from there.
works like a charm.
sorry for the delay in replying!
In the backup control panel settings, you create a system image onto a separate volume (mines on the removable drive), or across multiple dvd's.
I had three discs on a raid controller, with only two being a raid 1 and the thrid being just a dump and file disc, but the system would only see it as a raid set, so best to save it to a revovable HDD.
Then from the same control panel create a system restore disc, and this will allow you to boot from, and restore from your disc image.
Is it(System restore disc) a disc which can be created by using "Create a System Repair Disc" in the "Maintenance" of the start up program folders? Another word I am asking how to create the bootable disc as referred to as "System restore disc" in your post.
Windows menu > Control Panels.
> System and Security > Backup and restore.
In backup and restore select from the left hand side:
Create a system recovery disc.
follow on screen instructions.
Then to a removable device or other drive (not the same drive with the system on it or on the same RAID array), from the left hand side:
Create an Image backup.
