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  Check 

Disk 

 (or a similar check disk utility) on your computer’s internal hard 

disk drive.

2.  Defragment your computer’s internal hard disk drive by using 

Windows 

Disk Defragmenter

 

(or a similar disk defragmenter utility).

3.  Make copies of any important files or data to another drive.

4.  Hard drive backups work best when done on a regular basis.  Take a 

moment to establish a backup plan that works for you.

 

Disk  Clone  and  Disk  Image  will  both  create  a  full  backup  of  your 

system. 

 

Use Disk Image and create a full backup each day, week or month 

depending on how critical your data is and how far back you would like 

to recover a version of the files you are working with.

 

Use Disk Clone and create a full backup if you are upgrading to a larger 

hard drive or anytime you want or need to have an exact bootable 

clone of your hard drive.

5.  Once you have decided upon your plan, proceed to the appropriate 

sections in this manual to either use Disk Clone or Disk Image.

4.  S

oftware

Whenever the 

2.5” External Hard Drive

 is used to store a Cloned 

Image  the  data  cables  on  the 

2.5”  External  Hard  Drive

  should 

be  removed  while  booting  or  rebooting  the  computer.   

IF  NOT 

DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM
