Fujitsu T731 manual Creating Backup Images of Factory Image, DAR, and Discs

After you launch the ClickMe! utility when you first start up your system, you should make a copy of the Factory Image to DVD discs. You will need several blank discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are recommended) in order to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep them in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.

Creating Backup Images of Factory Image, DAR, and Discs

SOME CONFIGURATIONS OF CERTAIN LIFEBOOK MODELS DO NOT HAVE APPLICATIONS LOADED ON THE HARD DRIVE; RATHER, THEY ARE LOADED ON THE DAR DISC. PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WHEN READING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES.

Using the [Manage/Change] button, you can create backup images of the Factory Image, DAR, Application Disc, or Bootable Disc.

1Launch My Recovery from the desktop icon.

2Select [Manage/Create] -> [Backup Images]

The Backup Images menu displays a list from which you can choose which type of disc you want to burn: Bootable Disc, Drivers and Applications Restore Disc, Application Disc, or Recovery Disc.

3Select Recovery Disc, then click [Make DVD]

4Confirm that the # box has “2” (Note that in some cases the box may display a larger number for the factory image, depending upon its size.)

5The message “Recovery Disc #1. will be created. Enter your comments and number of media on the DVD”. Click [YES] to burn the Factory Image.

IN THE FOLLOWING STEP, DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE COPY IS COMPLETE.

6While the copy is being made, a “Writing to the media” screen displays a progress bar. When the copy is complete, a dialog will appear informing you of the successful completion of the backup.
