How to simulate a disaster in order to test a Macrium backup?
.
I have Win 10 Pro on a brand-new Dell Vostro.
I've reduced the C: partition, and used the resulting space to create an E: partition for my data.
I've installed all my usual day-to-day programs.
I've created a Macrium image of the entire disk, but without the E: partition.
I now want to test the backup image.
Question: What's the best way to simulate some disaster that would allow me to test the backup? Do I simply select the entire contents of C: in File Explorer, and press Delete? How about the registry?
I might as well do this now, rather than wait for a real disaster to occur. (I still have the Dell recovery partition. But I hope to delete that if Macrium works as expected.)
