Restoring different partitions back to hard drive
Good day everyone,
I need some advice on backing up HD on laptop (as images using Macrium Reflect) and restore back if needed.
Partitions on 500 GB hard drive
#1) system Reserved 100MB
#2) Windows 7 (C) 100GB
#3) Factory Image (D) 10GB
#4) Data (E) 320GB
#5) Misc (F) 30GB++ (remaining total of 500GB = 465.66[Actual capacity])
Assuming I've 5 partitions on a 500GB Hard drive.
a) First I create an image on all 5 partitions as 1 image (say I named it as Image1)
b) Create 1 image for partition# 4 and 5 every week (say I named it as Image2)
c) Create 1 image for partition# 2 if I've install/remove any new applications from this (say I named it as Image3)
My question is that, if my system crash, which images should I restore first.
I was thinking of restoring in the following sequence. (btw planning to use Macrium Reflect bootCD for this process)
1) restore Image1 (choose all partitions)
2) restore Image3 (choose partitions#4 and 5)
3) restore Image2 (choose partition#2)
Can these be done? or any alternate way?
When restoring, can I choose which partition that I wants to restore?
Sorry for all the noob questions. Appreciate your help.
Thanks you
Boon
