User manual

By default, the program allows the user to create the backup capsule only as

the last primary or as the last logical drive within the extended partition.

However, by activating the advance mode on the first page of the wizard you

can remove this restriction that in its turn might result in some boot problems.

4. Set the size for the backup capsule. It will be created at the expense of free space of the

selected disk.

There is no restriction on the size of the backup capsule, merely depending on the available

space of the hard disk and the capacity needed for the backup.

If the wizard cannot find enough free space in one block, it will redistribute free space, joining

all free space blocks together into one united block and moving partitions if necessary. If the

total amount of free space is still not enough, it is possible to split a fragment of space from

one of the existing partitions, thus resizing it.

If the partition is locked and cannot be resized, the wizard makes the system

reboot to create the backup capsule and automatically boots the system

again. (The rebooting mechanism is different for different versions of Windows).

5. Activate the bootable recovery environment if needed. With its help you will get the choice to

boot directly from the backup capsule for maintenance or recovery purposes every time you

start up the computer.

This operation will result in overwriting of the current MBR, thus in case of

having a third side boot manager, it will be removed. To avoid that you can

save the current MBR with the help of the Edit/View Sectors

tool.

The backup capsule can only be bootable if it is located on the bootable
