The Backup utility helps you protect data from accidental loss if your system experiences hardware or storage media failure. For example, you can use Backup to create a duplicate copy of the data on your hard disk and then archive the data on Friendly Backup Server. The Server storage medium can be a logical drive such as hard drive, or a separate storage device such as a removable disk, or an entire library of disks or ftp/mail server on the internet. If the original data on your hard disk is accidentally erased or overwritten, or becomes inaccessible because of a hard disk malfunction, you can easily restore the data from the archived copy.
Backup creates a volume copy of your data to create an accurate point-in-time copy of the contents of your data. Users can continue to access the system while the backup utility is running without risking loss of data. Using Backup, you can:
Archive selected files and folders on your hard disk
Restore the archived files and folders to your hard disk or any other disk you can access.
Use Automated System Recovery to save and restore all the system files and configuration settings needed to recover from a complete system failure.
Make a copy of any Remote Storage data and any data stored in mounted drives.
Schedule regular backups to keep your archived data up-to-date.
