Hi,
I am completely new to Aomei Backupper (and imaging). However, I have done backups for years with NovaStor. I
chose AB, after lots of research, for purposes of OS imaging and backup to both USB's and external HDD's. I plan on using it on both laptop and desktop computers. I hope I made the right decision. I
am wanting to get very serious about imaging, backing up, and system
restoring. Here is my question:
1.) I have a brand new Dell 3550 i5 laptop.
2.) I have installed MiniTool Partition Wizard.
3.) I notice that there are two partitions "before" the main 'C Drive'. (See attachment). This is the way the laptop arrived. I did not partition these two partitions into the structure of the hard drive.
4.)
What concerns and/or cautions should I have about creating an image that has the OS partition 'and' these two pre-
partitions for restoring the operating system and a few
software programs back onto the laptop?
5.) OR - are those two pre-partitions necessary to include in the image?
6.) Can AB handle this type of an environment?
7.)
Note that I have my data on a separate partition. I do not want to
include that partition on the OS image for restore purposes; I only want to currently pay attention to just the OS and the two partitions before it.
Below is a screen shot of the partitions that I am talking about.

Thanks for any guidance and advice,
