G2 HP ZBook 17: additional drive for backup

in my HP ZBook 17 G2 I want to create a backup to avoid any possible malfunction

the idea was to add a backup drive, theres 2 free slots but I'm not sure what disc ive old buy

The idea is to use just to back up so probably doesn't have any SSD, but I'm not an expert

So were I can find the exact type of the disk that fits in my notebook?

Here is the Service Manual:

Manual

See page 44

It would seem that the laptop is running the operating system of a type of mSATA SSD or there is not two bays open for full 2.5 inch wide SATA hard drive.

For pure storage, what you need is a 2.5 inches wide 7mm or 9.5 mm thick laptop SATA like this:

It is 1 TB of storage for $60. In addition, if you haven't already, you must the kit caddy/Caddy hard drive into the drive Bay:

Citing the Manual:

The hard drive carrier, cover and screws are included in the hard disk hardware Kit, spare part number 734280-001.

http://www.Amazon.com/HP-734280-001-hard-drive-hardware/DP/B00FYLN13I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1461856586&SR=8-1&keywords=734280-001

The operating system will continue to operate from the SSD and when you install a blank disc you can initialize and format it in disk management and be a place for lots of storage. 2 TB drives are available if you need even more space. Theoretically, you can install 2 x 2 TB and 4 TB of storage. You can create a partition on one of these drives and configure Windows file backup/history to make an image with a backup system, at regular intervals, the so if the MSSD goes bad break out you in a new and to recover the laptop to exactly the State wherever it was when the last backup. The rest of the readers add-in, you can use for storage of work.

  • I want to use a flash drive for backup, BUT I want a full backup of the entire drive.

    I had once an external drive for backup.  It was supposed to be a backup that would replace everything and put it back where it was.  I cheated because when I got to use it I found that it would reinstall was certain documents and photos.  None of my downloads and all the update programs has been lost. I wanted a mirror image!

    Now, I think a full image on a flash drive would be the way to go, but I don't know what software to use.

    I need help from someone who has this software and a USB flash drive.  Thank you

    Hello

    1/10 1.5 TB = 150 GB - buy a 150 GB flash drive (if you could find it on the market today) could cost you an arm and a leg. Buy a 1 to external portable HARD drive can cost you a little more $ 100.

    I hope this helps.

  • Using a USB flash drive for backup more driver and application backup recovery

    I have a 32 GB flash drive I used to create a recovery for my Aspire S7 backup using Windows 8.1. I understand that in creating this backup everything on the flash drive is deleted before creating backup. Can I now use this drive for other purposes, e.g., pilots and backup applications, pictures, documents, etc., or this flash drive now should he remain dedicated to the sole purpose of being a backup recovery?

    Hi zimmerbob

    I keep as a backup to dedicated recovery flash drive and use one for drivers & applications.

    It is always wise to keep the recovery discs, as well as the recovery disks. Flash memory is quite inexpensive for the moment!

  • XPS 8910 additional HDD for backup

    I installed a second HDD for backup purposes. When I press F2 to enter the program installation, everything, but the date and the time is grayed out and cannot be changed. I noticed that the readers are displayed as a RAID, AHCI no configuration. Can I change my safe RAID AHCI? I tried to make the change, but the warning was scary! What other steps can I take to allow me to activate the second disc? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    For some reason, the disk management works today! I was able to select the new disk, format it and assign a drive letter, and go from there. I have installed Acronis backup software and managed to create a backup and recovery boost for the startup disk. So what has changed? I have no idea. Before today, I couldn't select the new drive to do something with it. Maybe a Windows update which took place?

    Be it - thanks to all of you who took the time to answer. It's that kind of support that make useful forums. Happy it all!

  • Need assistance, transfer of files to a flash drive for backup.

    I need to delete my aol files to a flash drive for storage. I tried to find the path on my pc but cannot locate. I need to know if it is possible? Also, I need to know if I'll be able to open the mails from the flash drive after I download, it is possible to download the flash player.

    You will not be able to move your emails of aol.com to your USB key (they are on a website, not your computer) If you are using AOL desktop, you may, but you will probably not be able to open them. In any case, it is a site of firefox support, not AOL, I would contact them.

  • Using an external hard drive for backup

    I used Windows backup backup all my files on My Passport external hard drive 500 mgs.  Now my files are all screwed up, and when I try to restore using Windows Vista I get an error message telling me "the disk containing the backup is not accessible.  Make sure that it is turned on and connected to the computer", but it is connected and turned on.   It appears in my computer.  But looked funny, are compressed files and I can't open them. How can I get Windows to recognize the device he used to back up my files?

    Unfortunately, before I had the chance to do it, a Microsoft window pops up telling me he had to download a program to read my external backup hard drive.  Then my files were not only foires on my passport, but also on my laptop.  I was too scared to try anything else on my own at this time there and took it to a computer repair store.  They managed to find all my files and all is well.

    Thanks for your comments, anyway.
  • should I buy a drive for backup with my digital copy?

    I am looking to buy Windows 7 Ultimate of MS online and would like to know if the backup drive is worth the cost. I read the posts that you can create your own backup disk and you can image your installation on a h/d for guard duty. But if these options are already available why offer the backup drive? Any ideas would be great. Thank you.

  • How can I add a data store as an additional drive for a virtual machine?

    This is probably very simple, but honestly, I'm quite a n00b when it comes to networking and sys. Small business being at low cost...

    OK, I have a HP DL360 G5 running ESXi 3.5 with 2 virtual computer management. The first is a cloned Win 2003 SME (I had to save the last days of server primarily was about to fail), the other is a Win XP VM (which is just share a single file to 6 users)

    The server currently has 2 x 73 GB 10K SAS RAID 1. I installed another drive of 73GB 15K and seen in V: IC, I can add the storage, but how the VM of 2003 to see the new disk space? I need to be added as an extra, (e) disk in this case.

    TBH I don't know even if I added the next Assistant in V: IC correctly except extra storage space.

    Any help will be appreciated

    If the new drive has been formatted as VMFS3, then you can just change the settings of the virtual machine and add a disk.  Specify the new drive as the location for the new virtual hard disk.  You have two options on this screen.  Store with VM or specify the location.  You will need to specify the location.  Then, you can specify any size you want the new E reader to be.  Then in Windows, open disk management to complete the process.

    This will be your easiest route.

  • Use the TC for backup and as external hard drive

    Hello

    Can I use TC for backup and as external hard drive?

    If yes then when it is full, TC erase my personal data I have stored in TC as a hard drive or erase the oldest backups?

    1. Yes, but you shouldn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

    2. Time Machine will not erase the data it did not originally there.

    My external hard drive, Time Machine is full. Should I keep plugged in m and, even if I switch to another external hard drive to keep backups with TimeMachine?

    There is no need to keep two connected external drives. Instead, I suggest you to buy a bigger external hard drive and transfer the backups that you want from the old to the new external drive, so you can use the old external drive for other purposes-> Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support
