Norton Ghost 12 en Systeembackup

[ramses]

Kan iemand mij hier advies over geven :

Heb een OEM systeem (Asus 2GP met pre-installed Vista Ultimate) en dus met
een Windows recovery partitie op schijf D (ten behoeve van systeemherstel)
Nu wil ik met Norton Ghost 12 een systeembackup maken op een externe disk.
Is het verstandig om C: EN D: te backuppen of beter enkel C:

NB : systeembackup mbv Vista Ultimate backup functie kan wel backuppen maar
he lukt om een backup terug te zetten... Crap !

Dank bij voorbaat

Sorry i didn't notice this is an english spoken language group so i repeat
my question :

I have a OEM system (pre-installed Vista Ultimate on drive D for recovery
purposes
I would like to make a systembackup on a external disk with Norton Ghost 12
My question is : is it wise to backup both C: and D: or just C: ?

By the way the Vista Ultimate backup function does make a backup but seems
not to be able to restore it, thus worthless in case you need to do a
systemrestore.
Thanks in adcance for any answers or suggestions

I want to say that was German in your first post but im not sure. Any
ways it is probably a good idea to just backup your d: drive because if
it is a recovery partition then it will not change at all after you back
it up. so it will only take up the amount of space that is on the disk
and no more. so in other words it should only take up maybe 8-10 GB and
then after that it will not have to be backed up again because it does
not change.

What i need of course is a complete backup of my system, thus OS AND all
applicatons

If C: and D: are part of your system then you've just answered your own
question.

You may want D backed up in case it somehow gets corrupted.

Sure, but C is NTFS and D is FAT32 and Norton Ghost 12 does not allow to
backup these 2 different filesystems to 1 backup
