I want to periodically make image backups of the boot drive for a Windows 8.1 system using a third party imaging tool. I found out the hard way already that you need to make a copy of the entire drive, not individual partitions. Does
the System Reserved partition get updated potentially any time you run Windows Update? What I am wondering is if I can make a copy of the disk - which is two partitions the System Reserved and the actual Windows partition - to a backup drive,
and then later add to the end of the backup drive two more copies of the Windows partition without making additional copies of System Reserved. Will that work, or do System Reserved and Windows partitions always need to be backed up together?
