Anything different backing up an SSD with Macrium Reflect?

[Robert P]

I tried backing up a 240 gb SSD drive for the first time with Macrium and found that the image shows up as two partitions even though I never deliberately created two partitions. One is 100 mb the other is 223.47 gb. I recently did a reinstall of Win7 x64 Home Premium and downloaded various games.

Is this what's supposed to show up?

Does your original have two partitions? It could be hard drive settings or what have you that is common to some installs. I have just used AOMEI Backuper and never seen to partitions created.

What's on the drive is whatever was created when I did a new install of Windows 7. I took no action to create 2 partitions.

One will be system reserved and the other your installation.

Should they both be included if doing a drive restore?

Yes, you want to do a drive image, not a partition copy. You can then extend the partition if the new drive is larger after that initial process.
