Recovery USB Flash-Drive, Short Guide
Introduction
If the Windows user interface shows unrecoverable problems, the operating system can be
restored to its default state. Therefore, we recommend creating a backup with the Recovery
USB Flash-Drive after the initial setup. In case of serious errors in Windows it can be started
directly from the Recovery USB Flash-Drive and the operating system can be re-installed.
I. Creating a Backup on the Recovery USB Flash-Drive
This may require an external mouse.
■Shut down the panel.
■Carefully remove the glass cover by drawing it towards yourself.
■Connect the Recovery USB Flash-Drive.
■Start the panel with the On/Off-Button.
■Paragon starts from the Recovery USB Flash-Drive. The Main View is displayed.
■Connect a mouse, if necessary.
■Select “Create single backup”.
■The Back up Wizard starts. The next window shows the backup name and description.
■In “What do you want to back up”, go to the “Disk/Partition” tab.

USB Flash-Drive “Paragon”.
