With the rapid development of computer technology, more and more enterprises deal with daily business by using computer. It is believed that many computer managers have met the situation where important data costing much energy and time are destroyed completely due to accident crash, hard disk damage, or virus invasion. As a result, managers have to suffer severe blame and rebuild data. According to statistics, economic losses brought by data loss are more than 3 billions per year. If we want to avoid these disasters, we had better back up important data in advance. Backing up important data is a piece of quite important work in system management and also one of important measure to cope with catastrophic failure. A good data backup solution can help us recover damaged system and offer external service in shortest time and at the fastest speed when important data are lost on account of system crash, hacker attack, or other factors, thus reducing possible losses to the largest extent. In general situations, there are 3 ways to back up important data, namely copy data directly, copy partition, and copy hard drive. Different ways are suitable for different situations.
Data copy: there are a few data to back up, and there is no need to back up partition formation or disk information.
Partition copy: it is used to back up system or used when all data stored on one partition need copying.
Hard drive copy: when data stored on the whole hard drive need copying or we need to copy hard drive information, this method can be chosen.
