Chapter 5: Backup and recovery

To protect your information, back up your files and folders. In case of system failure, you can
use the backup files to restore your device.
For detailed information, perform a search for these topics in Help and Support.

Backing up your information

Successful recovery after a system failure depends on whether you have completely backed
up your files. You should use Roxio BackOnTrack immediately after software setup. As you
add new software and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular
basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.
Note the following guidelines when backing up your information:
Store personal files in the My Documents folder and back up this folder regularly.
Back up templates stored in their associated programs.
Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of
your settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences.
To copy the screen and paste it into a word-processing document, follow these steps:
a. Display the screen.
b. Copy the screen:
To copy the active window, press
To copy the entire screen, press
c. Open the word-processing document, click Edit, and then click Paste.

Using BackOnTrack

The back up drive function of BackOnTrack creates a backup that is an exact image of your
computer data. You can back up the image to an external hard drive (purchased separately).
To create a Disaster Recovery Set using BackOnTrack, follow these steps:
Be sure that the device is connected to AC power before you start the backup process.
1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Roxio, click BackOnTrack, click
BackOnTrack Home, and then click Disaster Recovery.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
