Chapter 5. Creating backup archives

5.1 Selecting what data to back up

As operating systems and application software become ever larger (for example, Windows

Vista x64 requires 15GB of free space on a hard disk), usually it will take you several hours

to reinstall your operating system and application software from original CDs or DVDs on a

new hard disk. Furthermore, the practice of buying application software by downloading

from the Internet is becoming more and more popular. If you lose your registration

information, for example, the activation key and/or registration number, which are usually

sent by software vendors through e-mail, you may have problems with restoring your right

to use the application. So making a backup of your entire system disk (making a disk image)

will save you a lot of valuable time in case of a disaster, as well as safeguard you against

other possible problems.
Backing up the entire system disk (creating a disk image) takes more disk space, but enables

you to restore the system in minutes in case of a system crash or hardware failure.

Moreover, the imaging procedure is much faster than copying files and could speed up the

backup process significantly when it comes to backing up large volumes of data (see details

3.1 The difference between file archives and disk/partition images

You might think it would take a while to make a copy of your entire hard disk, but the

proprietary technologies used in Seagate BlackArmor Backup ensure that image creation is

quite fast. And the program can also back up

incrementally or differentially,

so after the first

time, updating your image to reflect the current state of your hard disk requires only copying

the files that are new or changed and will require much less time. Because images can save

you a lot of time when you need to recover the operating system, it is recommended that

you make them part of your backup strategy. In our opinion creating your system volume

image backup is vital for protecting your computer system from a disaster, so now Seagate

BlackArmor Backup offers to back up the system volume and Master Boot Record during the

first start of the program after installation. For more information see

4.1 BlackArmor One-

Click Protection

Images, however, provide no defense against damaged files. If your hard disk contains

damaged files when you are making an image, those problems will appear in the image as

well.
For that reason, although we strongly recommend you to create images of your hard disk on

a regular basis, that is just part of a reliable backup strategy. You should supplement the

images with file archives.

Do you need file-level backups?

Do you have bank records, e-mails, photos, etc. you accumulated on your computer for

several years? Hardware and software can be replaced, your personal data cannot.
Though there may be some exceptions, the optimal backup strategy for most users consists

of creating both images and file-level backups.
After the initial full backup, file-level backups usually take comparatively little time to run,

making it easy to back up your data once (or even several times) each day. This ensures

that your most recent backup is never more than a day old. Because they also offer

insurance against accidental deletion (or change) and file damage, file-level backups are an
