Recovering your system using QDataTrove
Introduction to QDataTrove
Your Joybook 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 53
.
•
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 55
.
•
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 or Application and Driver DVD" on
page 56
.
• QDataTrove works on factory-installed Windows operating
systems only.
• It is strongly recommended to create Factory Recovery DVD
immediately once your Joybook is ready for use. Refer to
"Creating a Factory Recovery CD/DVD" on page 56
for
details.
• For the reasons below, you may not be able to restore your
system using QDataTrove:
a. On your Joybook, the hidden partition in which the
QDataTrove files are saved has been changed.
b. Your operating system is not pre-installed by the
manufacturer.
You can use the Factory Recovery CD/DVD created (
page
56
) to restore the system. If you do not have the Factory
Recovery CD/DVD, please contact the BenQ Customer
Service for assistance. Extra charge may be required if
necessary.
• 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.
