By drive letter, I mean the normal drive letter assigned by Windows 7 during its normal operations, or, earlier by Windows 7 disk management - because my OS and Data partitions are backed up separately, not rolled up into one image.
Regarding keeping track of backup image origins, I name each backup image: YYYYMMDD_S0. Without touching the Data partition, without touching the Data partition's backup, one simply restores the OS partition and keep right on truckin'. Suddenly, the OS implodes or explodes, pretty much no more OS. for 1-2+ weeks (1-2 weeks post the backups - lots of data files have been updated, numerous download EXEs and ZIPs have been added to the stockpile, and so on, onto the Data partition.
Why on earth would you backup partitions separately? It is easy to restore a single partition, and keeping them in one image means you are less likely to lose track of which partitions came from where.One example, let's say one has the Data partition backup separate from the OS partition backup.
