I don't really understand how Acronis can image an OS drive while Windows is running and system files are continuously changing. Due of my ignorance in this matter, I've always performed a clean shutdown before using the Acronis boot media to image my drive.
I'm considering setting up a scheduled backup so Acronis can image my drive weekly (instead of me imaging it whenever I remember to).
1. Is there any difference in the image produced by Acronis running a. as a boot disk and b. within Windows 7?
2. If I use the Acronis scheduler to make these backups, will it include the 100MB hidden partition that was made by the W7 installer?
3. What's your method of making regular backups?
