Image Hard Drive / Backup Hard
Disk
don't put it off, do it now !!
Image hard drive
, piece of mind. Having a complete hard drive backup of your
computer, this includes the operating system, applications,
settings, files , pretty much the whole ball game , so if the
worst does happen, imagine being able to restore your whole
computer in less than an hour.
For us to be able to
do this there are a couple of factors to consider,
Firstly the
software needed to backup.
Secondly whereabouts are we going to be backing up to.
And lastly how can we put all this together.
There are a number of software packages on the market that
enable us to backup or image hard drive , one of the best around
is Drive Image by r-tools technology.
It enables you to
image hard drive from the active operating system, unlike some
other software packages where you cannot image or backup an
active system and will have to boot from another device.
Your can download Drive image here, they have a try before you
buy policy so you can try for 15 days before purchasing which is
a great way to make sure you are happy with the software. Image

Whereabouts are we going to backup to? To begin with you create
a single image hard drive file of your operating system.
Note – you can save a
lot of space if you firstly clean up your disk, read our
“ cleaning hard drive hints and tips “
guide on this ,
Also disable your
page file before you create the file. Remember to re-enable it
once you have finished creating your image , also remember you
will have to enable it on image if you ever need to restore.
This could save you up to a gig or more in image size so it’s
definitely worth it.
After seeing the size
of the file, you can decide the best place to backup to, the
image / backup will be a single file so this can quite literally
be copied.
Generally the size of
an image will be over a few gigs so , a normal CD copier will be
of no use, a single layer DVD writer will enable you to backup
about 4.7gb,
But if this is too
small you really need to look into other backup mediums, firstly
we have a Dual layer DVD Writer , another good device would be
an external hard drive. If you need any help looking for the
right backup hardware, checkout our hardware backup device
section , where we help decide the right device for you.

Remember
though when backup the file , how easy is it going to be to
restore, if you are using something like a tape drive ,
restoring may be a little difficult, using an external hard
drive or secondary internal are the easiest options.
If the worst happens
and you do need to restore, Drive Image gives you the option of
creating a bootable restore disk , from this you will be able to
see the drives you wish to restore from and to .
