Typical Scenarios

This chapter lists a number of the most frequently used scenarios that may be accomplished with the program. You can

find here useful recommendations and descriptions of operations.

Backup Scenarios

Creating the Backup Capsule

Let us take a computer of a rank and file user who is most likely to have only one hard disk with only one partition (the

only partition is always system). Suppose that there is enough free space on the hard disk to create the backup capsule

as well. It can be created with the Manage Backup Capsule Wizard:

Launcher

1. Click the Manage Backup Capsule item of the Wizards menu (any of the ways described earlier can also be used

here).

2. On the Wizard's Welcome page, click the Next button.

3. Select a place on the disk where the backup capsule will be created. It can be created as a primary partition or

as a logical drive within an extended partition. It can be inserted into any place on the hard disk: at the end

(preferable), at the beginning or somewhere in the middle between other partitions.

By default, the program allows the user to create the backup capsule only as the last

primary or as the last logical drive within the extended partition. However, by activating

the advance mode on the first page of the wizard you can remove this restriction that in its

turn might result in some boot problems.

4. Set the size for the backup capsule. It will be created at the expense of free space of the selected disk.

There is no restriction on the size of the backup capsule, merely depending on the available space of the hard

disk and the capacity needed for the backup.

If the wizard cannot find enough free space in one block, it will redistribute free space, joining all free space

blocks together into one united block and moving partitions if necessary. If the total amount of free space is still

not enough, it is possible to split a fragment of space from one of the existing partitions, thus resizing it.
