Feb 17, 2016 1:16 PM in response to KLM 605by Loner T,A TM Backup for OSX is very useful. It will be an incremental backup, if you have had a previous backup on the same TM device or TC.
TM does not backup Windows, so an erase of Fusion drive/restore from TM implies losing your Windows installation.
Your Fusion CS LV/LVG look fine. The Recovery HD is where your issue lies.

The last CCC was made approx. one week ago. Do you think I can use it? A TimeCapsule backup is not very usefull here I guess?
TM gets you hourly backups. CCC can probably do that, too. If you don't change much, the interval won't matter. If you're like most folks and do create and delete files and do get mail and otherwise use your Mac, then a week is a lot of data to recreate.
TM also gives you an easy way to fetch files, and it gives some backup depth — with a disk clone, you either need a lot of disks, or you had better hope you notice the problem quickly, before you rotate through all the disks in your backup disk pool.
TM can get some backup redundancy, with the ability to configure two or more disks for multiple backup targets, too. This if the TM target disk fails, or if the TM disk gets corrupted.
Irrespective of what should happen with the OS X restoration, things can go wrong, and your data is valuable — and your data can end up irrecoverable, if something here goes badly wrong. With reinstallations and repartitioning and recoveries from corruptions, things can go wrong.
That's a long-winded version of "always have current backups", and don't trust any one disk or any one backup.
