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 Creating Recovery Media.

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 Creating Partitions for more information.

About Backup

The backup process creates a backup copy of your data stored on the built-in storage device and saves it to another location.

Due to unexpected events or computer viruses, you might lose various data stored on your built-in storage device. To restore the lost data, its backup copy is needed.

It is strongly recommended that you back up your data regularly.

If you can start Windows, back up and restore your data with the Windows feature.

To use the feature, open Control Panel and select System and Security and File History.

Restoring Your Data with VAIO Data Restore Tool

You can use VAIO Data Restore Tool to restore files previously backed up using VAIO Care (Rescue Mode): VAIO recovery solutions.

For instructions on how to use the app, refer to the help file included with the app.

Note

To restore copyright protected data, such as music files organized by digital media playback apps, use a backup tool specified by the app you used to import such data. Sony does not guarantee the playback compatibility of data which is not restored with the specified backup tool.
