If an optical disc drive is not installed on your computer, you need an external hard disk drive or
optical disc drive to make a backup copy of your data or need to create a new partition by
changing the size of the C drive. For instructions on how to create a hard disk partition, see
“Creating a hard disk partition” on page 20.
Be sure to create recovery discs immediately after your computer is ready for use. In case you
cannot make a backup copy of your data due to computer malfunctions, you can use the recovery
discs to make the backup copy. For instructions on how to create the recovery discs, see “To
create recovery discs” on page 4.
Use the SonicStage Backup Tool software to back up the data managed by the SonicStage
software, such as music and graphics. You cannot back up the data managed by the SonicStage
software using Backup and Restore Center.
For more information on how to use the SonicStage Backup Tool software, see the software’s
help files.
On VGN-AR series models, you may not back up the Recorded TV folder where the video
contents recorded by Windows Media Center are saved, using Backup and Restore Center.
Back up the Recorded TV folder separately.
If you have changed the destination drive, back up the Recorded TV folder directly under the
destination drive you have selected.
You can also make a backup copy of your data with the Rescue Data software. For instructions
on how to make a backup copy of your data, see “To back up your data with Rescue Data” on
page 11.
