You may be confused. I'm guessing you are because you say "restore the full image, then restore the latest C image".
What's contained in the so-called "full image" you mention? What partitions does it represent?
To restore Windows and get it running, you need to make and later restore an image file that represents C. You also need to make and later restore an image file of another partition IF, I say IF that other partition contains your boot files. This other partition is typically called "System Reserved", but your boot files can be anywhere, depending on who built the PC.
Let's say your boot files are on System Reserved.
You need to restore both C and System Reserved. So you need to have image files of both partitions.
You could make a single image file containing both partitions or you could make a separate image file for each. If you did the former, you'd presumably make that single image file on some repeating schedule. If you did the latter, you COULD do that repeatedly also, but more likely you'd just make one image of System Reserved and then make repeated images of C according to your schedule.
You can make images of your data partitions if you want, but I'd never fully rely on it.
