About Types of Backup

You can use the Windows

Backup and Restore feature to back up your valuable data.

There are several types of backup to meet your needs, as described below.

Backing up files

You can select and back up folders and files stored on your VAIO computer to an external hard disk drive.

For details on how to back up data, refer to

Windows Help and Support (

Backing up system images

You can create a backup copy of the whole system of your VAIO computer. If the built-in storage device or the computer

ever stops working, you can use the system image to restore the computer as it was when backed up.

To create a system image, you need an optional hard disk drive formatted in NTFS format. You can also back up a

system image to optical discs such as Blu-ray Disc or DVD disc.

For details on how to create a system image, refer to

Windows Help and Support (

Note

We will not restore or compensate for any lost or damaged data under any circumstances including failure of your

VAIO computer.

Create Recovery Media soon after purchasing your VAIO computer. In the event that you cannot make a backup

copy of your data with the Windows feature due to computer malfunctions, you can use the backup tool included in

the Recovery Media to back up your data.

For information on how to create the Recovery Media, see

Hint

If your VAIO computer is equipped with no disc drive, you need to connect an external device, such as an external

hard disk drive or DVD drive, to the computer before backup, or you need to resize the partition of your C: drive and

create another partition before backup. See

for more information.
