User Manual
1 Introduction
Information that is stored on our disks can be much more valuable than the computer being used together
with its software. –Then again, to what extent is something regarded as valuable? How much money would
you ask for your favorite music collection, which you have been collecting your entire life? Or your disk
may contain important financial data or results of scientific research. There are many things that are unique
and therefore one has to be certain about security.
Our program provides the user with the most reliable data protection for the hard disk – the ability to create
archive duplications (i.e.
backup images).
By storing such an archive onto external media the user is able to
restore the data at any time it is required. The program assists planning a schedule in case the user’s disk
needs a backup on a regular basis. The operation will be performed automatically at the specified time.
The second crucial function of the program is the ability to modify the hard disk structure. One day you
realize that your hard drive cannot meet your requirements any more. Either its capacity is insufficient and it
is time to think about a little upgrade, or you are to carry out some partitioning operations. Whatever the
problem is, it requires solution. Our program provides a wide-range functionality in the field of managing
disk layout structures. The key features of the program are listed in
the special chapter.
Setting up any operation is accomplished by using practical wizards. Each step of the wizard includes in-
depth information in order to allow the user to make the right choice. Graphical representations of the data
help the user to gain a better understanding.
In this manual you will find the answers to many of the technical questions which might arise while using
the program.
Some features may be unavailable in the version of the product you have. To learn more
about it please consult the
Drive Backup Editions
chapter.
2 Key Features
Let us list some of the key features:
User friendly interface.
Easily understood icons accompany all functions of the program.
Previewing the resulting layout of hard disks before actually executing operations (so-called
virtual
operations).
Remote Management facilities
for a centralized administration and maintenance of computer parks.
Backup an entire disk
including service data of the file system.
Backup of dynamic disks.
The user can back up all five types of dynamic volumes (simple, spanned,
striped, mirrored, RAID-5).
Cyclic Backup
to automate the backup of separate partitions.
Archive database
helps the user to easily manage backup images (get properties, add, delete, mount,
etc.).
Create and manage the backup capsule.
This is a special secured place on the disk where backup
archives are stored.
Start up the computer from the image contained in the backup capsule
in case of the operating
system corruption.
Restore an entire disk or separate files
from the disk archive (image).
Restore with Shrink
function provides the possibility to restore a backup image to a free block of
smaller size taking into account only the amount of actual data of the image.
