Using the backup utility

You can back up data stored on the hard disk to a USB mass storage device and restore data that has been backed up. Select "Backup Utility" under (Settings) (System Settings) and follow the on-screen instructions to perform this operation. In some cases, you may not be able to use the backup utility feature to back up or restore the system correctly. It is recommended that you create a spare backup for important data in advance by copying or moving the data to a USB mass storage device.

For details on the backup utility feature, refer to the online user's guide.
