What is the difference between a backup of the plant and a recovery disk?

For me a simple question, so I hope a simple answer.

When I got to my laptop that I created a USB using DBR recovery. It is a little more than 8 GB in size and is appointed SYSRECOVERY.

At that time there I didn't create a backup of the plant.

Having recently been read on things related to the re-establishment of a system in case of disk failure hard etc, I saw that Dell has said you must create USB recovery media and a backup of the plant. So, I got a new USB and today created a backup of the plant.

Looking at it, it is also called SYSRECOVERY and both have exactly the same list of files and folders and have almost the same size.

So just what is the difference between these 2 options (if any)?

Or do I now have 2 USBs that will do exactly the same work to restore my laptop computer provided that the factory?

Case there is no difference, why Dell offer both (and recommend you create both)?

Thank you

Technically speaking a recovery media and backup of the plant are the same. But according to the post that you saw at Dell, recovery media is a backup of backup from the factory with the files and applications that you added later. Therefore, to be on the safe side, Dell recommends to create a backup of files and software that have been added later (or is not part of the default configuration).

The factory backup contains all drivers and software according to the configuration of the PC, and that were pre-installed on your computer.

Generally, Windows failure, you can use factory backup media to restore the PC without affecting your personal files and software. In the event of hard disk failure, where the hard drive is replaced, recovery media will be useful to restore Windows as well your files and applications.

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    If my assumption is correct, you are looking for which file to download service pack update.
    Worry not choose files. Download the .iso to the update file, either burn it or mount or extract it and install. These files are called the symbol files. They differ in the language, for example. frequency refers to the French version. They are used to debug the Service Pack and are not really necessary unless you start to run into problems and try to find solutions on your own.

    Regular accumulation is the regular version at retail of Windows because most of us use (SP1 or not).

    The build Debug/Check is specifically aimed at developers who developed to make it easier for the debugging flag
    drivers to be developed. This build runs much slower due to the abduction of optimizations and other functions.

  • What is the difference between Photoshop CS6 [Legacy Version]($410) and Photoshop CS6 ($699)

    What is the difference between Photoshop CS6 [Legacy Version]($410) and Photoshop CS6 ($699)

    "Drop the support for WinXP" does not mean "Will not work on Windows XP."  It simply means that Adobe will not help you if you have a problem.

    I think that the reference to the 'legacy' version relies on the fact that CS6 is the latest version of "permanently licensed" until the CC model came into force.  Both ads are referred to this version, using different terminology.  There are actually two versions of PSCS6.  One is permanently licensed version, and is the version provided to customers who subscribe to CC, who got a few additional improvements over the version permanently licensed before being supplanted by PSCC.  But the version of PSCS6 within the CC is not available as a stand-alone product.

  • Where is the difference between Edition > assign profile... and edit > convert to profile?

    I ' v saw a lot of youtube videos and video2brain or lynda.com and I didin't clearified the difference between Edition > assign profile... and edit > convert to profile.

    On Photoshop Cs6, where is the difference between Edition > assign profile... and edit > convert to profile. With Edition > assign the profile changes the visual appearance of the colors, but the color values remains the same. Assign profile form a profile to a photoshop document so that the profile can travel with the document. Edit > convert to profile changes the values of colors in the document to match the profile, so the color values are shifted. When I do use edit it > convert to profile and edit > Assign profile... command in Photoshop within a document? Can someone explain to me?

    Nice day!

    Use Convert to profile if you want to change an image from one color space to another, for example when you worked on a picture in AdobeRGB but want to use the image on the web to convert to sRGB may be a good idea. Also when work you in RGB and will have to spend on CMYK images for a specific printing process.

    Useful application to assign the profile is generally limited, for example if you get and change an image not profiled (or clearly wrong profiled) it make sense to incorporate the profile so that the later display and editing can proceed in the same way regardless of the workspace.

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes game against external hard drive, Solid State etc. to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    First question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes Match against Solid State external hard drive etc to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    Please let me know what are the alternatives for storage of my songs, playlists, song etc. other than iTunes game ratings ($ 24.99 / year)?  Is there a way to store all my songs with my song ratings, playlists, etc. with a CD song quality? Most of my (currently 130 GB) songs on my computer are CD quality that I prefer to keep as well as my notes of each song (i.e. 5 * vs. 4 * etc.), playlists, groups (music, classical, popular, country etc.).  What are the advantages and disadvantages to store my iTunes songs while CD quality with my personal notes, reading lists, groupings in the cloud?  ICloud of Apple Drive ($ 2.99 per month or $36 / year for 200 GB) would be the best way to automatically update and maintain my rankings iTunes personal including the future editions of the song etc or using Amazon, IBM, Microsoft etc cloud or an external hard drive SSD would work as well and maybe cheaper?  I currently have my iTunes on a PC of 2007 with vista (I use a 1 8T Western Digital external upward by car for my personal info all over HP, songs, photos etc. which is currently close to 170 GB) but also have an Apple i-phone 6 & I Air cushion.  Although I did not need to have all of my music with all their sides, etc. available on all of my devices at all times as iTunes game, I still would have easy access to information on both my PC and my iPhone or iPad?  Thank you.

    In my opinion?

    I back up my data to an external drive for several reasons.  The first is my data - if I put on the cloud, someone else has control over it, they can see what I have and change the preferences to what they see of marketing.

    Almost as important as that - if I had to rely on the cloud whenever I wanted to update my playlists on my phone, I need a better internet connection I have now (working at sea).  To get the best out of the cloud, you need a solid link to home, work or mobile.

    As a spin-off - I hate the fact that Apple take away a feature in their software updates and then allow an app to be sold in their store to replace this feature - or worse still, some features that were available before the updates are now "cloud only."  And Yes - you have to pay for the cloud.  I like most of the people do not appreciate the 'accomplished fact. "

    From the back of the external hard drive ASI downside, is that to be safe, you need to store outside in a separate computer place.  If keep you them together, if one is lost, probably, they are both.  That is to say for me a full backup before you travel, then a new upward as soon as I go home.  Downside is how much data may be lost between the two back ups if I needed to restore.  For me, its worth the risk.  If I was away and say had bought a ton of new music and couldn't go home anytime soon, I can always head to the store and buy a new external drive, they are massively expensive.  Even if my computer has to go for repair and my remote is to halfway around the world - I want to buy a new one.

    Now, some will say that once you buy a new external, you spend more than you would on a cloud subscription.  It's true, but in the 6 years following the purchase of Mac that I've only had to buy a new external once - so with a little luck and planning - it works.

    I left took well - I am not a subscriber of cloud, nor do I want to be.

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages about installing vSphere 5 on USB

    I am having trouble to make the iscsi boot and mused with a temporary workaround.
    I want to install vSphere 5 on a USB key, boot on USB and when all the problems with boot iscsi are resolved, use vMotion to migrate the virtual machine to another ESX host.

    What are the advantages and disadvantages regaring USB-install?

    Maybe it's even better that run start iscsi.

    Hello

    We have no difference between USB install and install ESXi on hard drive. all functions and features are the same. You have following additional configuration on USB Installer if necessary

    -Remote Syslog configuration

    -Netdump configuration or change the coredump on hard drive partition by creating additional VMKcore on hard drive.

    -Try to use the qualified USB key (refer to the hardware vendor documentation).

    Not looking for any specific limitation other than mentioned above.

  • Difference between DDR2 PC2-4300 PA3411S-2M1G and PA3411U-2M1G?

    How is the difference between DDR2 PC2-4300 PA3411S-2M1G and PA3411U-2M1G? I would like to buy, but I don't know who for Toshiba Satellite A100-847? Help, please

    I understand that you are a bit confused, but the two modules are the same.
    The modules are 1 GB PC2-4300 DDR2 533 MHz
    I think that it s just a new version and, therefore, it s a different number.

    I discovered that the module of PA3411U-2M1G is compatible and you can use it.

    During the closure after a browsing session I find several windows behind the window of the main browser I have not opened and they must be closed individually. What is the cause and how can I stop it? Edit

    These windows display ads? They could be 'pop-under' designed to show when you are finished with your main window. Orbitz has these, for example. Irritating. I'm not sure of the best solution, i.e., advertising blocker blocker vs.

    If they are not ads, can you think anyway that they are related to the sites you visit?

    In addition, to close a tab (or window, if there is only one tab), you can press Ctrl + w. could speed up the process of their release until you find a real solution.
