I have to say well done to Microsoft for finally put it right of windows backup on windows 7 is perfect now than before.

On Vista, you cannot restore it on different hard disk (must use on the same hard disk) of a complete of windows pc backup.

But on Windows 7, I had backup all of it on my SSD of 35gb cos of not enough of room left on my 60gb SSD. I was hoping of restore it back on my other hard disk of 1tb, thinking (it will not going to work on different hard disk - knowing that Microsoft restrict you on same hard disk only). But, it surprise me, as it does work this time, it does restore it on my other 1tb hard disk and still activated already. A big well done to microsoft of put it right after many peoples had complaint to Microsoft of the past with Vista that it will not restore on the new hard disk when their old hard disk is faulty or not enough room left to move to new hard disk but Microsoft wouldn't allow it.
 
You can usually restore an image to a larger partition than the original, just not the other way round.

I've never really used MS backup software (except ntbackup at work) so it's good to see it's improving for home users.
