 +=== Best Variation for Fast, Local Disaster Recovery === 
 + 
 +When you create the ''MS Windows System Backup'' set, you might: 
 + 
 +  * Choose not to configure a Local Copy 
 +  * Set the temporary directory to be a local, USB or network volume 
 +  * The temp directory must be a non-critical volume 
 +  * It's best to use a fast local volume 
 +  * No encryption 
 +  * No compression 
 +  * Disable In-File Delta 
 +  * De-select ''Remove temporary files after backup'' 
 + 
 +Then, after backing up the image backup to the Ahsay server, you are left with the necessary files to perform the restore from the left-over temp files. 
 + 
 +  * Acts like a Local Copy, but less secure (unencrypted) 
 +  * You can skip the Ahsay part of the restore operation and just boot from the Windows media 
 +  * Consider enabling Microsoft's BitLocker on the dedicated temporary volume for security 
 + 
 +==== Restore the Image Backup ==== 
 + 
 +http://www.ahsay.com/jsp/en/home/index.jsp?pageContentKey=ahsay_products_windows-system_benefits
  
 +  - Using the Ahsay web interface, restore the image backup to an external hard drive
 +    * Or just use the temporary files as discussed above
 +  - Connect the external hard drive top the machine to be restored
 +  - Boot the machine from the Windows installation media
 +  - Choose Repair
 +  - Choose Image Restore
