Recovering your system using QDataTrove
Introduction to QDataTrove
Your Joybook Lite may come pre-installed with QDataTrove
depending on your purchased model. QDataTrove is an
application that allows you to back up your system, restore your
system, or burn system image and bundled applications/drivers
into discs. In QDataTrove, the following three functional
modules are available:
• Back up: This function allows you to back up your system drive
into a single image file, back up your system drive into discs, or
manually create a restore point. For details, refer to
"Backing
up your system" on page 41
.
• Restore: This function helps you recover your system with
factory default system image or your own backup system
image, when the system is abnormal or damaged. It also allows
you to restore your system from a restore point, or reinstall
bundled applications and drivers. For details, refer to
"Restoring your system" on page 42
.
• Create Discs: This function allows you to create recovery discs
from factory default system image or your own backup system
image. It also allows you to back up all bundled applications
and drivers into a disc. For details, refer to
"Creating recovery
discs" on page 43
.
• QDataTrove is not intended for backing up personal files, so it
cannot help you recover a personal file that has been
damaged or deleted. You should regularly back up your
personal files and important data using a backup program.
• System recovery is a data destructive process. It is strongly
recommended to back up all important data and applications
prior to performing the operation.
• Make sure your system is connected to AC Power before using
QDataTrove.
