    Hello,

    i´ve purchased Acronis 2013 right after my new windows 8 vaio. the question i´m not sure about is the backup plan.
    Is it better to backup all partitions or is the c drive all what i need to recover in worst case?

    I´m not sure if a recovery of the c drive is working with all the other hidden partitions remaining...anyone tried this yet?

    Partition backup is fine with Windows 8 (UEFI mode). I did fresh install Windows 8 on my Duo. Installed all what I need, backup C drive to file. I made restore from that file twice without a problem.
