Before You Backup!
With more of your work and personal life becoming digitized, backups are essential.
Backups protect and preserve precious data, music files, digital photos, digital
videos and other important computer documents from being lost forever.
Follow the next few steps before backing up to help the process run smoothly:
1. Ensure there are no file system errors by running
Windows Disk Cleanup
(or a similar disk cleanup utility) on your computer’s internal hard disk
drive.
. Defragment your computer’s internal hard disk drive by using
Windows
Disk Defragmenter
(or a similar disk defragment utility).
3. Make copies of any important files or data to another drive.
. Hard drive backups work best when done on a regular basis. Take a moment
to establish a backup plan that works for you.
For example:
a. Perform full backups (using Disk Clone, exact bootable clone of your
hard drive) at the end of each month.
and/or
b. Perform weekly backups (using Disk Image, compressed image of
your entire hard drive or partition).
5. Once you have decided upon your plan, proceed to the appropriate sections
in this manual to either use Disk Clone or Disk Image.
