Backup WinToGo Drive
#1
I have an external WTG drive that is USB connected and would like to make a System Backup.

System Backup states that it is for backing up the currently running Windows system. If a Disk/Partition backup is made of all three partitions will it be possible to restore the image allowing the drive to be booted?

The obvious alternative is to install HBS in the WTG when it is running and do a System Backup, but I would prefer the WTB to have no network connection/exposure.

Disk/partition backup should work, yes. I use normal disk backups (instead of system backups) for my PC since over a year and also restored a couple of times already.

Disk backups are very similar to system backups, with the difference being that you need to make sure you select all relevant partitions yourself.
If you just select the complete USB disk with all partitions, you should be good to go.

A quick note about licensing: To perform a restore to a USB drive, you need at least the Home edition. See this comparision chart: https://www.easyuefi.com/backup-software...rison.html
