Background information In this chapter What is a partition? What is a backup? What is an image? Media type Page 51
What is a partition? A hard drive's storage space can be divided up into several areas which can be used as separate, independent hard drives. These areas are called partitions. Every partition in Windows receives its own drive letter. Hard drives can only be partitioned retroactively if the respective hard drive (hardware) is reformatted, i.e.
What is a backup? Copying of files to a different file storage medium to secure these files is called backing up, or creating a backup. There are three different variants of data backups: Full backup: All marked files will be compressed and saved in one file. Incremental backup: Only files that have changed since the last backup will be compressed and saved. Differential backup: Only files that have changed or have been added since the last full backup will be compressed and saved.
What is an image? An image is a direct representation of a CD, DVD, hard drive or another storage medium. The difference from a copy or backup is that an image contains information about the structure of the original storage medium, and not just individual files. This enables 1:1 copies of complete storage media to be created. Some file extensions of images are: iso, img, nrg. Images can also be mounted as a virtual drive.
Media type The common characteristic of all optical storage media is the storage layer which reflects light in different amounts. Changes to this ability to reflect are used to store information. This will give you a short overview of the DVD and its successors.
Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) Quality The exceptional color quality, image definition, and contrast of the DVD format are all well known. A resolution of 720 x 576 (PAL) and coded using MPEG-2, 25 pictures per second produces very good results. The quantity of data is approx. 5 times as much as a VCD. DVD size DVDs look similar to CDs. The only visible difference is that double-sided DVDs have no label. Otherwise, both formats have the same dimensions.
Blu-Ray disc Alongside HD-DVD, the Blu-ray disc is viewed as the successor to DVDs and offers especially high storage capacity of up to 27 GB as a single-layer disc (double-layer up to 54 GB) with very few write errors. The term Blu-ray disc comes from the blue color of the laser. Because a color cannot be registered as a trademark, the letter "e" was removed from the word "blue".
HD-DVD The HD-DVD is intended for playback on HD-DVD players and cannot be played on normal DVD players. By default it is created in "1080i" (1920 x 1080 pixels) format. The amount of data is four-times that of normal DVD formats . Despite the HD-DVD format, blank DVDs, which have now been on the market for quite a while (and are therefore a much better value for money), can also be used. Like with a mini DVD, whereas the DVD data format is burned to CD, the HD-DVD format can be burned onto a normal DVD.
