I don't believe this is protecting your data in any way. A virtual drive is still on the same physical hard drive so any drive failure will likely lose your data. Furthermore needing to restore Windows on a C: drive would not affect your Legacy data files residing on that same (virtual or physical) drive unless someone was to foolishly reformat or re-partition it. I'd suggest you rethink your backup philosophy.
