I use acronis to backup and recover the system and partitions, but sometimes
I found that the image has been corrupted in one of the partitions.
Now I placed the images on one external hard disk which is IDE but attached
in the USB box. Acronis told me that I could not
recover these images unless I use the rescue bootable media.

What are the pros and cons for placing images of backup on dynamic hard
disk?

In your situation the plus is - portability (you can detach the
USB-connected disk and put it away), and the minus is that you'll have
additional complexity in recovery process.

My suggestion is this: test your recovery scenario. Declare your system dead
and see what it takes to use those images to recover. Then test the other
setup. You'll be much better positioned to make a call on the proper setup
then.
