Backup

 

 

 

 


With Z-DBackup you can create an image of your whole system and all internal drives. (from Windows Vista upwards) Such an image of a drive is different from a normal backup of all files on that drive, in the way that it also includes information about the partition, file system and boot sector. In particular an image of your system drive C: can be used to recover your whole operating system.
 


 

Windows system image

A Windows system image backup creates an image of all drives that are necessary for the operation of Windows and all installed programs. This image can then be used to restore the complete operating system with all installed programs and all files. This allows you to quickly restore your old computer system on a new hard drive from this image, in case of a severe software problem (e.g. caused by a virus) or if your hard drive fails. A lot of time can be saved this way compared to installing Windows by hand and having to reinstall all programs and updates.

The drives needed by windows and all installed programs are automatically selected as source drives. You can select additinal drives to be included in the backup.

  Only one image backup, which may contain the images of multiple drives, can be created per volume on a hard drive, USB hard drive or RDX hard drive. See target drive


Restore

To restore Windows from an image you either need a Windows installation disc or a system repair disc you can boot from.  A system repair disc can be created from within Z-DBackup: Menu System → System repair disk
