In trying to use Acronis backup software I discovered that my C drive

Fat 16 Partition OxDE. The 3rd one is FS Fat 32 Partition OxDB.

What resides in the 2nd and 3rd one.? Do I have a full backup if I just
back up the NFTS partition or do I have to backup all 3 partitions

If the second and third are partitions on the c drive they will be
labelled as d and e drives, therefore your optical drive(s) such as
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD or DVD writer will be labelled f onwards. If you or
anyone else has not saved any files on the d and e partitions they will be
empty. What happens when you try to copy a file to the d and e partitions?
How much used space does properties show for the d and e partitions? To
have a backup of all the data on the hard drive you need to backup all the
partitions, although if the d and e partitions are empty I don't see the
point..
