Can't create a Disaster Recovery Disk
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 5:14 pm
AISBackup 2.9.0.398
Windows 7 SP-1
LaCie External USB Backup (two 500GB drives in Raid 1)
Can't complete making a Restore Disk.
Installed WAIK from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... n&id=10333 even though the Title on this site says it's for Vista (AISBackup Help says it will work with 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7). I am following the graphical steps and, on graphical step #5, I am confused. I don't at all understand the two parts needed to make the restore disk. Do I need to download the ISO image from the web site? If so, I can't find it. Also confusing is that the Help file doesn't seem to have kept up with the program. For instance, the Help file says to click on Extra Tools - but the choices don't match what's shows elsewhere in the Help file. The easiest way to explain this is to compare what Extra Tools shows in the current version to what was in some version in the past. Also, how do I know if I need extra drivers? Does the external USB backup destination need a driver that I need to add to the Disaster DVD? Can the Disaster disk be a CD *OR* a DVD? I have Nero if I need a burn program. I am not very familiar with burning disks - but I have a few re-writable DVD's and many blank CD's. I would like to end up with at least two Disaster disks in case one goes bad. Barry, I apologize for my previous email - I should have gone through the Forum in the first place. The video didn't help me - I'm sorry - but I find it very difficult to follow. Also, my head pain which I've had every day for the past 11 years is getting worse and I usually have a hard time concentrating. Please help me. After all these years using AISBackup, I have never succeeded in creating what I need most - the Recovery media. I hope I included all the information you need. Thank you......
