The perspective of having your data lost is always dire, but there are precautions you can take in order to minimize the risk of such an irreversible flaw affecting your system.

Backup and restore utilities are available on the market, and some of them could actually spare you the bad luck. MiniTool ShadowMaker is one such feature-packed application that can create a backup of your OS, a partition or an entire disk.

The software utility stands out from the crowd right from the beginning since the first window it prompts you with asks you to indicate whether you want to work locally or remotely. This means you can make a backup of the content stored on your own computer, but at the same time, network administrators can do the same for other PCs.

Regardless of your choice, things are quite straightforward when trying to create a backup. You just need to indicate a source as well as a destination. Be careful, however, not to make them coincide since this defeats the purpose of the measure you are taking.

Note that any backup task can be carried out either immediately or scheduled, with the possibility of having it start daily, weekly, monthly, at logon or logoff.

Aside from that, a series of parameters can be set when backing up your system. Thus, by resorting to the “Options” menu, you can add a comment, enable email notifications, choose the compression level for the created image or backup, exclude items from backup, enable password protection, and much more.

Regarding the “Restore” section, you should know that it could prove of great help in case your computer crashes and remains unresponsive. Resorting to a system backup image, which you have previously created with the Media Builder in the “Tools” area, is what you need to do.

As for how you can manage all your backup tasks, you should know there is a section dedicated to precisely that, letting your organize them depending on your priorities, restore, mount, verify, delete, schedule them plus much more.

MiniTool ShadowMaker is an all-encompassing application designed to restore your computer to a previous state whenever it encounters a major malfunction rendering it unresponsive. The program bundles many management features but manages to remain approachable for anyone who thinks that it's better to prevent than to cure.
