  • Page 45: Recoveryeasy

    Introduction: RecoveryEasy , the latest QDI innovation, is able to protect the system from being de- stroyed, by creating a so-called “mirror partition” for a current hard disk partition and backuping all the data to the mirror area. This ideal utility provides disk partition, disk data backup/recovery, CMOS settings backup/recovery and multi-boot functions.
