3. Creating a Full Image Backup
An image backup is a block-by-block copy of the source or primary drive, including all
system, formatting, preferences, settings and program data. An image on a USB 2.0
connection will take approximately 1 minute for each GB of recorded data on the primary
drive (to see how much of your internal drive you have used, go to “My Computer”, right-
click on
Local Disk
, go to Properties and you will find the used size under General
Information). Backup times can vary based on whether your USB port is 1.1 or 2.0.
Your
EzBackup™sa
utilizes the included Installation, Backup & Restore CD to create an
Image Backup.
1.
Insert the included Installation, Backup & Restore CD into your CD-ROM drive. Click on
Exit
if the auto start screen appears.
2. Restart your computer. Your system will boot from the CD. If it does not, please refer
to your computer’s documentation to learn how to configure your computer’s BIOS to
allow for a boot from the CD-ROM drive.
3.
You should see the
EzBackup™sa
install splash screen after the computer is done booting
from the CD-ROM drive.
Important
:
Your new
EzBackup™sa
will not function effectively
unless an
Image Backup
is performed first. Please
ensure this step is completed before proceeding.
