The best way in this situation is to do the following :Ģ) Mount the windows disk (the one with partitions "C" and "D" - assuming "D" is the ubuntu partition.ģ) on the live distro issue lsblk command. To backup that system on to different media so you can use it without having to restore your entire image : Some distros restore perfectly - for example Fedora 32 -I have moved it around a lot (and between systems - not as a VM but a physical OS) and it boots every time - I think it uses UUID's for disk so restore always works. Restoring to a different Disk can be problematic with some Linux Distros - Grub might need updating or / and fstab might point to wrong /dev/sdx partition numbers on the new disk - that's easy enough to fix though - edit /etc/fstab manually with VI from a Live distro. Macrium will then write image as "physical" format - so it won't be as quick as backing up Windows and it will take more space. Remember also that a typical Linux system will have these partitions itself on the Linux partition : /boot, /, /home (you don't need to backup swap areas). Macrium will back up dual boot systems perfectly OK so long as you haven't set anything up as "Logical Partitions" - so Macrium needs to see for example your Ubuntu partition as say Disk "D".
