Is there a drive partition letter backup software-not image software?

Hi,
I do regular drive image backups with Acronis, but just wondering since I have three hard drives with 12 partitions is there any software that I can backup the drive partitions size and letters to that might automate the process say if I was to format a whole drive?
I know I could always make a note in word of the drive letters and partition sizes etc, but having some software to do this would be good.
Thanks

if you do not print it out a screenshot of disk management, if trouble arises a saved file on disk many not be easy to access0 -
Why do you have so many partitions? In general it is best to have one partition per physical drive unless you have a very good reason not to.justaquestion wrote: »Hi,
