3. The Select Local Hard Drive window appears, click on the hard drive where the partition to be backed up is located, and then click "OK" (as shown in the picture).

4. The Select Source Partition window appears (the source partition is the partition you want to back up), click on the partition where the system is located (usually Zone 1, be sure to get it right), and then click "OK" (such as as shown in the figure).

5. The storage location dialog box will pop up, click the black triangle button, select the partition to store the image file in the drop-down list (note: make sure the partition has enough storage space), and enter the corresponding file folder (note: remember the exact folder where the image file is stored, otherwise it will be difficult to find it when restoring the system). Enter the file name of the image file in "File name" (meaning: file name). After entering the file name, Click the "Save" button to continue (as shown in the picture).

6. If you want to overwrite an existing backup file, you can directly click the file in the window that pops up in step 4.1, and then a prompt whether to overwrite or not will pop up. Click "Yes" to overwrite the old file (as shown in the picture) .

7. The option "Whether to compress the image file" appears, as shown below. There are three options: "No (no compression), Fast (fast compression), High (high compression ratio compression)". The lower the compression ratio, the faster the backup speed, but takes up more disk space; the higher the compression ratio, the backup speed Slower, but takes up less disk space. Generally, select "High" to save disk storage space. For low-configuration machines or if you want to save time, you can select "Fast" or "No" (as shown in the figure).

When the blue progress bar reaches 100% (the mouse pointer is hidden during this process, the length of time is determined by factors such as machine configuration and data size, usually ranging from 2 to 20 minutes), the backup is successful. If a confirmation dialog box pops up during this process, it is usually because the backup partition is large and a volume image file needs to be created. Click "OK" to confirm. If another error dialog box pops up, after confirming that there is enough free space on the hard disk, you should suspect that there is a fault in the hardware system. Please eliminate the hardware fault before backing up. The six dynamic values ​​in the blue area in the middle of the figure below are from top to bottom: completion progress percentage, speed MB/min, amount of copied data, amount of remaining data, elapsed time, and remaining time (as shown in the figure).
