■ The computer that is being backed up must be turned on and Windows must
be started.
■ All defined backups are saved automatically so that you can edit them or run
them later.
■ Do not run a disk defragmentation program during a backup. Doing so will
significantly increase the time that it takes to create the recovery point and
might cause unexpected system resource issues.
■ If you have two or more drives that are dependent on each other, you should
include both drives in the same backup. This provides the safest protection.
■ Include multiple drives in the same defined backup to reduce the total number
of backups that must be run. Doing so minimizes interruptions while you work.
■ Use the Progress and Performance feature to reduce the impact of a backup
on your computer's performance. For example, if a scheduled backup starts
while you are in the middle of a presentation, you can slow down the backup
to give more processing resources back to your presentation program.
■ The power management features on a computer can conflict with Backup Exec
System Recovery during a backup.
For example, your computer might be configured to go into hibernation mode
after a period of inactivity. You should consider turning off the power
management features during a scheduled backup.
■ If a backup is interrupted, consider running it again.
■ If you experience problems while creating a backup, you may need to reboot
the computer.
