  2. Click Snapshot.

    Creates a boot device on an alternate media.

  3. Click OK to perform the system snapshot to a media or click Cancel to return to the Snapshot page.

    Function

    Target Media

    Specifies the boot device to copy the snapshot to.

    Note:

    You cannot copy software to the active boot device.

    • internal—Copies software to the internal media.

    • usb—Copies software to the device connected to the USB port.

    Partition

    Partitions the media. This process is usually necessary for boot devices that do not already have software installed on them.

    Select the check box.

    Factory

    Copies only the default files that were loaded on the internal media when it was shipped from the factory, plus the rescue configuration if one has been set.

    Select the check box.

    Note:

    After a boot device is created with the default factory configuration, it can operate only in an internal media slot.
