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
(Opening 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 (Opening 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 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.
