This subject is so confusing to me, I know it shouldn't be, but here we are. First off, what types of backups are there? I hear different terms being used. Full backup, system image. Is there a difference? Currently my drive is partitioned with a boot drive and everything else is on c drive, including some Steam games, totalling about 250 gb. I don't need to back up the games. Is there a way to choose what to back up. Also, what do I use? Can this be done through Windows, or should I use something like Macrium Reflect? And this backup wouldn't be bootable, correct? That is something different? I've also heard of repair discs. What are those exactly? I guess the real question is, What should I be doing, and what should I be using to do it? Any help clarifying this would be greatly appreciated.
3Hi and welcome to SuperUSer. You have a set of good questions here. Unfortunately, because you ask so many of them it makes answering these really long and that makes it Too Broad. If you can limit your question to a small section, get an answer then post a new question, it can fit for the SuperUser site. – LPChip – 2019-02-07T19:36:11.380
3I agree with LPChip - breaking this post down into 3 or 4 questions would be appropriate. Also, using paragraph spacing will make it a lot more readable. – davidgo – 2019-02-07T19:39:24.043

Can I ask you all what methods you use – VernonB – 2019-02-07T20:33:42.623
@VernonB - That type of question would not be within scope here at Superuser. You really should focus on improving the formatting of your question. Just focus on what we can answer, "what do you do", is too broad of a question. – Ramhound – 2019-02-08T03:24:26.420
