interruption. The Archive Backup contains the original C and D partitions and is stored in a
compressed form in a hidden partition on the system hard disk.
This hidden partition is not visible or accessible to you with the standard system file access
toolset. To use the Archive Backup to restore the hard drive, press the F11 option (with external
keyboard) when prompted during the system boot to immediately start the standalone True
Image Application.
NOTE
If you choose the “Restore Original System Installation” option,
any changes or additions to either of these two partitions since
the initial QuickBack™ installation will be lost. This includes User
Backups that have been placed in the D partition area.
Within the True Image application, you can select the “Restore Original System Installation”
button and follow the on-screen directions to restore the entire Archive Backup onto the C and D
partitions of the System Hard Drive.
User Backups
You can create up to two User Backups of the C partition (Compressed copies of C are stored
up to the available space in the D partition). Backups are typically created as desired by using
the True Image application under Windows. Backups are stored into the D partition of the
system hard drive. Currently, with the existing C partition size, the size of the D partition allows
up to two Backups to be saved at one time.
If you increase the C partition significantly with the addition of new software, then only one
backup copy can be stored. With the addition of very large amounts of user data it is possible to
grow the partition content large enough that it cannot be compressed into the available space
on the D partition (In this case the True Image will inform you that no backup into the requested
location is possible).
System Recovery CD
You can create a System Recovery CD using the True Image Application. For example, if the C
drive becomes corrupted (system fails to boot normally), the Recovery CD allows you to boot
the system to the True Image Application. You can then restore the C partition from one of the
Backups.
Note that you create the Recovery CD using Windows and an attached CD disk drive with write
capability. To create the Bootable CD, please refer to your Windows documentation. To boot
from the Recovery CD, follow the procedure in Table 20.
