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 

 

(or  a  similar  disk  cleanup  utility)  on  your  computer’s  internal  hard  disk 
drive.

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

 (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.
