To back up your computer while in Windows, please close all open programs before starting Keriver Image. This will close open files and disable background activity during the backup process. Then on the Windows taskbar, click 'Start->All Programs->Keriver->Keriver Image'.

Step 1: In the Keriver Image Basic window, move you mouse cursor over the 'Backup' button and click it.

Step 2: Click 'Next' to continue.

Step 3: You can create a backup image file of your hard disks and/or partitions using the Backup Wizard. Select or unselect disks and/or partitions by clicking on the tick box.

Step 4: Select a location to save the image file and enter image file name, and then click 'Next'.

Note: You cannot save image files to a partition while it is selected for backup.

Step 5: In the Backup Options window, you can edit the default backup options.

The preset Compression Level is 'Default compression', If you select 'No compression', the data will be copied without any compression, which may significantly increase the backup file size. However if you select 'High compression', the backup will take longer to create.

The 'Image file limit' is used to split backup data into several files. It's convenient for burning to removable media. After you have entered a custom file size to suit your media, please press the 'enter' key to check the validity of the value.

We recommend you provide a comment for the image. This will help prevent you from restoring the wrong data, and helps you manage multiple images.

Step 6: Confirm the backup settings and click 'Next' to start the Backup process.

Step 7: After the Backup procedure is completed, the 'Cancel' button will become the 'Done' button. Click on it to finish.
