Creating a backup image using the boot application
A backup image is a very useful feature. It allows you to create and save a complete copy of all the files on the Processor Unit. The software used is Acronis True Image. The software is installed on the Processor Unit. It is also copied onto the USB flash drive that is provided with the SU90 system.
Prerequisites
The following items are required:
•  Computer mouse
•  Computer keyboard
•  USB flash drive (Bootable)
•  Optionally: USB hard disk
You need the bootable USB flash drive provided with the SU90 system. You can also use any commercial USB flash drive. It must be formatted as a bootable device by the Acronis True Image program. If you want to use the USB flash drive for the backup files it must have the necessary storage capacity. We strongly recommend that you use a high capacity and high speed USB flash drive. Avoid typical "give-away" USB flash drives and commercial low budget types.
Tip
A complete backup requires a large data storage device. A standard USB flash drive may not have the required storage capacity. You can then use a USB hard disk.
It is also possible to place the backup files on the second hard disk in the Processor Unit. This is commonly identified as the "D" drive.
Independent of the chosen storage device, you will need the bootable USB flash drive.
