7. BACKUP AND RESTORE PROCEDURES
Backup with QuickBack™
If your hard drive is a spinning media hard drive, QuickBack™ is included with your software
package as a backup and restore feature. It allows you to make an exact copy of your hard
disk’s contents on a hidden partition of your computer. You can then use this backup to restore
your PC if the hard drive becomes partially corrupted.
NOTE
If the entire hard drive becomes corrupted or the hard drive is
damaged, this restore feature may not work.
ARMOR X7 ruggedized computers implement the QuickBack™ functionality using the Acronis
True Image OEM software package. The True Image application provides a number of useful
System Backup features including the creation and storage of an Archival Backup, the ability to
store up to two additional User created Backups, and the ability to create an Emergency
Bootable CD for System Recovery.
The QuickBack backup feature is only one part of a complete computer backup strategy. As
mentioned above, if the entire hard drive becomes corrupted or if the hard drive itself becomes
defective then the QuickBack™ feature will not be able to restore the system. Even if the
System Recovery CD is used, it looks for the backup data on the hard drive. The periodic use
of an alternate backup tool is recommended to provide backups on external media in case of
catastrophic hard drive failures.
You may wish to purchase the upgraded full-featured Acronis True Image tool to be able to
backup and recover all data saved from an external drive.
Dis k Partitions
The hard drive is divided into several sections or “Partitions”. The C: partition is the primary
partition that contains the Windows files, Application Program files, User files, etc. The C:
Partition is used as the primary system boot drive for normal operations.
The D: partition contains space for QuickBack™ Backups of the C: Partition. The D: partition
has been made large enough to contain at least two standard-sized compressed User-
generated backups.
The compressed backup copy of a partition can only be stored in one of the other partitions for
backup purposes. This allows you to overcome the most common disk corruption issues and to
restore the system back to the last saved state.
