Creating recovery media and backups

Recovery after a system failure is only as good as your most recent backup.

You will use a USB flash drive to create a bootable recovery drive that can be used to troubleshoot a computer that is unable to start. The USB flash drive can be used to reinstall the original operating system and the programs that were installed at the factory.

NOTE: Any information on the USB flash drive will be erased before the recovery media is created.
