Question on Seperate Partitions & System Image
Thanks to this site I am regular Macrium user for System Images.
I have read here that it is a good idea to split your OS (C Drive) and your music/docs/videos (to say D Drive) into separate partions. This results in a faster System image to create and restore due to the reduction in size.
In the event of a virus/ransom attack; I would restore my C drive only (OS) using MR. My D Drive with my music/docs/videos would remain 'untouched'.
But here's my confusion with this strategy;
Couldn’t a nasty virus etc be hiding on D Drive somehow and cause problem when I restore my C drive? If so, why separate your music/docs/videos?
Why not leave music/docs/videos on C drive & do a full system image including my data? Which is what I am currently doing.
