For example, you can use Backup to create a duplicate copy of the data on your hard disk and then archive the data on another storage device. The backup storage medium can be a logical drive such as your hard drive, or a separate storage device such as a removable disk, or an entire library of disks or tapes organized into a media pool and controlled by a robotic changer. If the original data on your hard disk is accidentally erased or overwritten, or becomes inaccessible because of a hard disk malfunction, you can easily restore the data from the archived copy.</p> <p>[snip] </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1001#post-5768 Mon, 14 May 2007 15:50:46 +0000 Heringer 5768@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I lost my registrations when I reinstall my computer?
