+=== 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 ====

+  - 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
