2 Create Backup
Backup or the operation of backing up always means creating copies of
important data, with these additional copies, you can get your data back
to previous health status after suffering an unexpected computer
disaster. So the main purpose of backup operation can be considered
as that to recover data as a reaction to system failure or data loss.
Note: In order to ensure a rapid and successful backup process, please try to
close other applications as possible as you can before starting the operation,
and never try to save the image file to the partition/disk which you are
intending to image.
There are three different approaches to backing up and recovering the
system PC:
• Backup and Recover to/from a file on the backup hard drive
• Backup and Recover to/from an bootable media (DVD or USB stick)
• Backup and Recover using the Pre-OS boot menu
2.1 Maintenance / Recommendations
It is highly recommended to:
• Create a bootable media (DVD or USB stick)!
• Create a backup file and store it to an external drive (e.g.
network drive) rather than to the local hard drive!
• Create a backup at least once every month!
The following chapters describe how to create a backup of the system
PC.
