System Backup and Recovery for WES 7
You should create a complete System Image of your SSD as a backup in case you
ever need to reinstall the operating system. There are several third-party backup
solutions available. By definition, a system image is an exact copy of the
computer hard drive. A system image includes the Windows operating system
files as well as your system settings, application programs, and data files. You
should regularly create a system image, so that all data, applications, etc. have
backups. The system image may be stored on a USB memory stick, multiple
CD/DVDs, an external (USB) hard drive, or to a separate LAN drive.
When you restore your hard drive from a system image, it's a complete
restoration—you cannot choose individual items to restore, and all of your current
programs, system settings, and files are replaced with the contents of the system
image. Therefore, you should also keep a regular backup of your data and
applications.
You can also create Windows Restore Points to return your system files and
settings without affecting data or application files.
Microsoft Windows is the only operating system installed on your M9036A. There
is a small system partition for the Keysight Recovery System on the SSD. During
the OS boot process, you are given the choice to boot normally or boot from the
recovery partition.
Some third-party backup utilities may destroy Keysight’s Recov-
ery System partition. If this happens, the Keysight Recovery Sys-
tem will not work.
