5.3.15 Creating a backup
Recommendation 
After restarting and testing the installation, create a backup of the partitions on which the 
operating system/PCS 7 software is installed.
We recommend creating an image of the installation for backing up partitions and hard drive 
data. An image allows you to restore partition and hard drive data at any time or to prepare 
the PC for a software reinstallation.
Note
Please be aware that the license keys cannot and may not be included in the backup.
● Move the license keys to another medium (license key USB stick, partition etc.) before 
creating the image.
● In selecting image software, ensure that it is suitable for the operating system in use.
● To create an image, follow the image software manufacturer's instructions.
