Regularly Perform A Disk Image Backup

A disk image is a “snapshot” or your entire hard disk drive.  It is a byte-for-byte copy of every single piece of data on your computer.  A disk image can be copied to a different computer and the entire operating system will work, complete with all its data and installed applications, as a perfect clone of the original.  It follows that a disk image backup is one of the easiest ways to backup a computer.

If you create a fresh disk image backup every day, you can always restore to a copy of your operating system that is no older than a day if disaster strikes.  This may be very useful when something goes wrong unexpectedly.  Of course, the disk image should be on a hard disk drive that is remote from the original to ensure that it does not fall victim to the same calamity that was the end of the first.  The advantage of a disk image is that it is an easy and simple way to back up an entire computer.  The disadvantage is that it takes up a lot of space, because not only your data, but also your operating system is copied.
