Protecting Local Disks

Even if most of your data is stored and protected on your storage system, your operating
system files, applications, and many other files still reside on each individual computer in
your network. If one of those local disks fails, it can take many hours to re-install and
reconfigure the operating system and applications on a new or repaired hard disk, and
some files might be completely lost.
®
Intel Client Backup and Recovery is a software application designed to address this
issue. On each computer where it is installed, Intel
provides reliable data protection and rapid data recovery in the event of a system crash or
disk failure.
®
Intel Client Backup and Recovery protects Windows desktops and laptops by backing up
their local disks or partitions to the storage system. To make sure you have recent copies
of your local disk, Intel
backup at regularly scheduled intervals—either once a day or once a week, whichever you
prefer.
Alternatively, you can disable automatic backups and just perform backups manually at a
time of your choosing. Once the maximum number of supported backups are saved on the
storage system, the oldest backup is automatically deleted each time a new backup is
performed.
The maximum number of users you can backup is 16. The maximum number of total
backups for all users is 64. If you are backing up a large number of users, schedule the
backups at separate times to minimize the impact on performance.
