Acronis True Image doubts
Althought it realy donīt take much time : clean OS install + all my programs (not many and not many tweaks nor tricks) takes around 2 hours to install, if i could shrink this time it will be good.
So, i took a look at acronis:
1. i backed up partition C (Windows 7 installation) - all photos, movies, music and so on are on other partition within the same disk and were backed with acronis on other internal disk .
2.i made the acronis bootable media (iso image) and put it on my internal back up hard drive.
my doubt is: if i format partition C: and do a clean OS install (example : install new windows7 build diferent then previous one) will i be able to restore the back up i made before of partition C: within the system and restore all my applications and settings or it will just wipe up the new W7 build with the previous one i have backed up. All i want are my applications and settings restored.
Is there a way to do this with acronis, just restore apllications and settings between formats and new intalls?
I hope i have made myself clear, english is not my native language.
thanks
edit:i think this may not be possible because applications create tight ties with the OS, but nevertheless i would like to see your opinions.
