SSR 2011 and dual booting windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04

HI all,

Just seeking some clarification on whether there are any known issues of restoring a windows 7 64-bit image in a dual boot system.

I dual boot win7 ultimate and ubuntu 12.04 - they are both on separate physical hard disks but I currently load into the Ubuntu hard disk and run windows 7 as a default from the GRUB bootloader.

• I am very keen to protect my windows 7 system and would like to know if I create an image of windows 7 in the above configuration will it lead to problems when I need to recover?
• Would it be better if while creating the image in SSR 2011 I boot directly to the win7 hard disk, then reset my boot configuration to the above once the image is created?

Interested to know if anyone has any advice on this.

Cheers
