Medium: All media types that you can use for this particular burn process
appear here. The format description of the medium you inserted appears
once it is detected in the burner.
Backup size: This indicator will tell you how much storage the backup will
need, either on a different drive or burned to a medium.
Step 2: Select the drive which you want to back up and click "Insert".
Specify settings for the File filter (view page 74).
If you would like to back up a lot of data, but don't want the backup to
become too large, you can increase the compression rate. The
backup created will be smaller, but the amount of time required to
create it will increase. If the compression rate is decreased, the time to
create it is reduced, but the size of the backup file will increase.
Step 3: Click on "Continue" and select whether you want to create the backup
on your hard drive or to burn it to DVD.
Note: Please make sure not to select the same hard drive, which you are
backing up as the location of your backup. If this hard drive will become
unusable, the backup will also be lost. If you have only one hard drive and one
partition, we recommend that you burn the backup to disc(s).
Burn backup
If you burn your backup on CD or DVD, the restore function will be added to
the disc for restoring the backup. This makes sure that your backup can be
restored on other computers which do not have MAGIX PC Check & Tuning
2011 installed on them.
Large backups will be split across multiple CDs/DVDs. There is therefore no
limit to the size of your backups.
Note: The backup can even be restored on the target computer without an
operating system, since a "proprietary operating system (view page 63)" is
included to start the restore process.
