Startup Disk Restore vs. the Restore task in the Toshiba
Backup Software:
❖
The Startup Disk Restore software should not be confused with
the Restore task in the Toshiba Backup software. The Restore

You can only restore a startup disk if you have backed it up using
the “Startup Disk” Backup option in the Toshiba Backup
software. The startup disk will be restored to the point of the last
backup.

required Windows
®
operating system. It is not compatible with

Software CD that shipped with your Toshiba desktop external
hard drive. However, the application is only accessible via the
portable Linux operating system that will launch after starting up
your computer from the Toshiba Software CD.
