If you have Acronis, you can CLONE you’re C drive (or any of your drives) to an external drive.
Note that you can’t clone all your drives to one external drive unless you partition it and it’s large enough to hold all the data from all your drives.
You won’t have to make “Bootable Media” because the cloned drive is an exact duplicate of your C drive.
If need be you could swap drives or use Acronis to “Clone the cloned drive” to a new drive.

Yes, Acronis will do that. The only downside is that the clone may not be as up to date as the C drive. That's why I prefer an incremental backup of my C drive and a bootable media for recovery.
