Backup
It is recommended that you have a regular backup strategy. Your IT
department may already have a backup strategy in place that is suitable for the
instrument and its data. Using the Instrument Recovery system in conjunction
with a regular backup strategy should allow full recovery of the instrument
data.
Windows has a Backup utility that you can use to archive files and folders in
case of a disk drive failure. You can also use third party backup utilities.
However, you must ensure that this third party software is compatible with the
instrument's system software. See “Customer installation of software” on
page 41 for more information.
When performing backups, we recommend that you backup the data to an
external storage device connected to the network or one of the instrument's
USB connectors. Also, you should perform backups at times when the
instrument is not being used for normal operations, as it may impact the
instrument's overall performance.
System Restore
Windows contains the capability to restore the system to a previous point in
time. System Restore is enabled with default settings as provided by Microsoft.
However, System Restore is not always 100% successful. Therefore, it is not
recommended that you rely on System Restore to protect your instrument.
System Restore has not been tested to verify successful restoring.
Disk Defragmenting
The instrument has a solid state drive. Disk defragmenting is not
recommended.
