Copying WindowsImageBackup folder

Yes. Copying the WindowsImageBackup folder from the partition to another physical drive is sufficient. Make sure you copy the WindowsImageBackup folder with elevated privileges (just for sure) - as I'm not sure right now if the folder is protected as system folder or not.

    After making an image backup in Windows 7 Pro 64bit to another partition on the same physical hard drive there is WindowsImageBackup folder. After that if I wanted to save this backup to an external drive would copying the WindowsImageBackup folder to an external drive be sufficient or is it more involved than that?
