I recently upgraded to Windows 8 pro and I have very little experience when it comes to backing up my system. I wanted to get some opinions on the best way to back up my PC. I created a System Restore point today and I noticed that I was given the option to create a System Restore point for all the drives on my system along with my C drive. I did in fact create a restore point for my C drive and it literally took 10 seconds to do so.
Would it be wise to create a system restore point for all of the drives?
I have also heard of creating a System Image Backup as well. So the question is, which means of backing up would be more beneficial, and what's the difference between the two? Creating a System Restore Point or a System Image, which would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
