windows system image backup query
I have my system on drive "c" which is a 125gb ssd.
I have partitioned a second internal drive.
I have put programmes in one partition called "f".
I have put all my data in a partition labelled "m".
I have a third partition labelled "z" to take the system image backup.
When I made a system image backup, the programme included drive "c" and the programme drive "f", together with a drive called system reserve which I have no idea where it is located.
I imagined that I could simply make a system image of drive "c", which didn't include programmes.
Obviously this is not the case.
The whole idea was to be able to do a clean up-to-date system restore in drive "c".
Isn't restoring to two different drives a bit messy?
I read all the time that people install a clean system on a regular basis.
Is it normal practice to include programmes as well?
If I put all my programmes back onto the ssd then I'm sure I will run out of space very quickly. For example codemasters F1 is over 10GB.
Any comments please.
