You may consider keeping the backup in a different physical location if you have valuable data. While the backup is in progress, you can continue working on the device since it uses the "Shadow Copy" feature to backup files even if files are open and apps are running.Īfter the process, you can disconnect and store the external drive safely. Once you complete the steps, the tool will create an image of the entire system that includes everything on the primary hard drive and other drives you may have selected. If you must restore the machine, you can use a USB installation media to access the recovery environment.
