What is this ?

When starting a backup with Acronis, in addition to the backup from "C"  I see something called

SERVICEV001

What is this and should I also back it up?

hello

you are refering to the hidden partition which is present in you hdd

did you make recovery cds??if not do make them otherwise you may loose the hidden parition

[LouCopits]

I made the recovery CDs as soon as I got the computer.

Do I need to back up SERVICEV001?

[buddinggeek]

no you dont need to do that its just a process that runs when R&R has been initiated

[LouCopits]

So if I restore an Acronis image copy without a restore of SERVICEV001, I could no longer run R&R?

[buddinggeek]

you can use acronis it may even backup the service partition as well...however in the eventuality that you start using a new hdd the restore cd's will come handy in creating the service partition
