Create a System Image
A system image is a snapshot of your entire system, including your data and files, installed
applications, and other settings. In case of complete hard drive or operating system failure, you can
use the system image to restore your device to the state it was in when the image was created. It is
up to you how often you want to update the system image, but it’s a good idea to keep an image of a
clean installation from the first time you set up your instrument.
Depending on how much data you copy to the system image, the process may take a while. If you are
copying a large amount of data, it may take more than an hour for the process to complete.
