The firewall settings of the source computer should have Ports 20 and 21 opened for the TPC and UDP protocols

to function. The Routing and Remote Access Windows service should be disabled.

6.2.1.2 Authentication settings

If you are connecting to a networked computer, in most cases you will need to provide the necessary

credentials for accessing the network share.

If you need to specify the user name and password:

 Select the Use NT authentication check box and enter the logon credentials:

 User name - enter a user name

 Password - enter the user's password

When you click the Test connection button, the computer will try to connect to the selected network

share. If you receive an error message, check if the credentials are correct and provide the correct

user name and password for the selected network share. To repeat the connection attempt, click the

Test again button.

If you clear the Use NT authentication check box, the computer will try to log on automatically with

the credentials used for logging on to Windows.

Having provided the required information, click Connect.

6.2.2 Deciding what data to back up

Operating systems and application software become ever larger (for example, Windows Vista x64

requires 15GB of free space on a hard disk). It will take you several hours to reinstall your operating

system and application software from original CDs or DVDs on a new hard disk.

Furthermore, the practice of buying application software by downloading from the Internet is

becoming more and more popular. If you lose your registration information, which is usually sent by

e-mail, you may have problems with restoring your right to use the application.

So making a backup of your entire system disk (making a disk image) will save you a lot of valuable

time in case of a disaster. It will also safeguard you against other possible problems.

Backing up the entire system disk takes more disk space, but enables you to recover the system in

minutes in case of a system crash or hardware failure. Moreover, the imaging procedure is much

faster than copying files.

Because images can save you a lot of time when you need to recover the operating system or data,

we recommend that you make them part of your backup strategy.

If you have multiple partitions on a drive, it is advisable to include all of them in the image. Failure of

the hard drive in most cases will mean that all the partitions it contains also fail.

Although we strongly recommend you to create images of your hard disk on a regular basis, it should

only be a part of a reliable backup strategy.

Do you have bank records, family photos, videos, etc. you accumulated on your computer for several

years? Hardware and software can be replaced; your personal data cannot, because it is unique. So
