Creating recovery media

NOTE
It is strongly recommended that you create recovery media. If the
recovery files on your internal storage drive become corrupted or
are deleted, you can restore your system from your recovery media.
Also, if your original internal storage drive fails, you can restore
your system to a new internal storage drive from your recovery
media.
NOTE
When you create recovery media, the system will prompt you to
insert several blank DVDs or connect one or more USB flash drives
of a certain minimum capacity to your computer. The amount of
space required for storing the recovery files varies by computer
model. Follow the procedure below to determine how much space
you will need for storing your system's recovery files.
To purchase an optional external writable optical disc drive for
creating recovery DVDs, please visit the Toshiba web site at
accessories.toshiba.com.
When you create recovery media, only the operating system files,
applications, and drivers originally shipped with the computer are
backed up to the external media and can be restored from this media.
Any files that you created are not backed up on the recovery media.
You will need to separately back up the files you created; for more
information, see "Backing up your work" on page
