SUMMARY:

DETAILS:

To perform an Integrated Static Mirror Image Backup, an image storage device must be defined. To define an image storage device there must exist a local hard disk that has not been assigned any drive letters. If the desired storage drive has any drive letters assigned, it can be un-assigned by using Disk Administrator.

Figure 1: Creating a Partition

Figure 2: Figure 5: Drive with no assigned drive letter

To define this hard drive as an Image Storage Device or select a pre-defined device, press (Control-T) or use the option path, "Tools"/"Preferences"/"Media"/"Default Storage Device". Now use the option path: (click the down arrow on the "Show" list box)/"Image".

IMPORTANT: Using a hard drive as an Image Storage Device will erase the entire hard drive.

Figure 3: Select Image Device as a Storage Device

Either select an Image Storage Device from the list or select "Add" to define one.
