This thing is fairly straightforward, but let’s run through the routines, just to make sure.
 

Backup

Here’s the standard procedure:

• Click on ‘Backup’, then the entry on the upper-right.
   
• Your C Drive will be checked by default.  You can back up more than one partition at once, but I’d suggest keeping them separate.
   
• Click ‘Next’, hit the ‘Browse’ button and browse to your ‘Images’ folder.  In the future, it should remember the location and all you’ll have to do is write in a new file name.  I use dates for routine backups, like "02-24.tib".
   
• Over to the left is a ‘Comments’ link.  This will be able to be read when doing a ‘Restore’.  If it’s just a routine backup, I’ll put a "Routine", but if I’m about ready to dump some gigantic program into my system that I’m not sure about, I’ll note it in the Comment so I’ll know exactly which file to restore should everything blow up.
   
• Hit ‘Proceed’ to start the process.  Do NOT touch the computer while this is going on.  If you want to pre-open something, like some non-action game, that’s fine, but don’t open or close anything while it’s making the image file.
   

Restore

Here’s the routine:

• Click on ‘Recovery’, then the entry on the upper-right.
   
• What’s displayed in the window isn’t always accurate, so hit the ‘Browse’ button, just to be sure.  Find the file, OK.  Any ‘comments’ can be read after the file name.
   
• Select the image file and click ‘Next’, then ‘Next’ again.
   
• You’ll usually just want the main file, but if you’re having boot problems, also rewriting the MBR might solve the problem.
   
• On the next screen, if the location isn’t in place, click "New location" and select the proper partition to overwrite.  If this is a boot partition other than the C Drive, make sure the second area says "Primary, mark the partition as active".
   
• Click ‘Next’ to begin the process.  If you’re running this from Windows and it’s restoring the C Drive, it’ll need to reboot, so make sure everything else is saved and closed down.  If it’s writing to a different partition, you can go ahead and use the computer like normal while it’s doing its thing.
   

You might glance over the "Tools & Utilities" at some point.  I’ve never used any of them (with one exception), but some of them look fairly handy.

The one exception was File Shredder, and, I have to admit, that was impressive.  I had tried everything to delete that balky folder, including Safe Mode and two freeware Windows programs designed(!) to get rid of undeletable files.  And that’s not to mention the three DOS ‘Delete’ programs using a DOS boot-up disc, including the ultra-sophisticated T-Del.  When that didn’t work, I figured that folder was there forever.  And it was.

Until badass File Shredder came along.
