My question is MR for dual boot, that is, I have Windows and Linux on the same disk if I make a copy of the System I can include Linux. Has anyone tried it?:unsure:
Yes, I did it. You can include both. The Linux partition takes a little longer to image, and you can't mount it and browse it, but you can restore it. I have imaged Linux and restored it many times with Macrium Reflect.

Question, and have you restored and respected the dual boot?
I had dual boot, but I don't think I ever restored both the Window partition and the Linux partition at the very same time.
What I can tell you from experience is that I successfully restored the Linux partition, which included Grub, and I had no problems booting, my dual boot worked as expected. I did this several times.
