Making a Back Up System Image
Agilent STRONGLY recommends you use a tool such as Symantec Ghost
(not supplied with the system) to make a back up image of your system
software. You should make a back up now, immediately after installing the
system, and periodically as time goes on to capture any development efforts
and software changes. Having a back up image greatly simplifies the process
of system recovery following such catastrophic events such as a hard disk
crash. With Symantec Ghost you can make a complete duplicate image of
the OS and software on your system. Back ups can be made to a network
shared drive or to the system DVD writer.
