How to recover CD/DVD with DriverClone 2?

A Recover CD/DVD is a bootable disc containing backup data and the DriveClone program. It allows end users to restore the backed up partition(s) or entire drive by simply inserting this disc into their CD/DVD drive and booting thecomputer.

To create a Recover CD/DVD, please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Start DriveClone. Select Backup/Restore and then click Recover CD/DVD(shown below).

Step 2: Select the Source Hard Drive, and then select the Source Partition(s) to back up. Click Next to continue.

Note:

1. Normally there is only one hard drive installed in a computer, and you can skip the hard drive selection step and select your partition(s).

2. If there is more than one hard drive installed, you can choose only one drive at a time.

3. You can select one or more partitions from a hard drive to be back up at a time. If you want to back up an entire hard drive, select all of the partitions on the drive.

Step 3: You are now ready to create the Recover disc. Click Browse to locate your CD/DVD writable drive with a blank CD/DVD disc inserted, and then enter a name for the image. You can add comments in the Image File Description box (shown below). Click Next to continue.

Step 4: Select a compression mode between Standard, Medium and High, if desired.

(Optional) You can set a password for the backup file. Once a password is set, it will be required when you attempt to use the image file.

(Optional) If you want to verify whether the backup file is usable, you can select the box “Check data integrity after backup operation finishes”.

In the Image Splitting option, select a file size for a single volume of the splitted image. If you select automatically, Driveclone will automatically split the image according to the file system type of the destination partition.

Step 5: After reviewing your selections, click Start to begin burning the Recover CD/DVD, or you can click Previous
to modify your selections.

Note:

If the size of the backup data exceeds the writable disc capacity, DriveClone will automatically split the image
into several volumes and burn onto different discs. It will prompt you to insert another disc when needed.
