Create Backup Partition

Use the Create Backup MiniTool Partition Wizard to create a location where you will save your data files. You can then install DataKeeper to save your data on a regular basis.
The backup partition can be 1) on the same hard disk, or 2) on a separate hard disk. It is recommended that you save your data on a separate hard disk. Separating data from the operating system partition has significant benefits:
1. Backups are easier and faster.
2. Data is protected from system crashes.
3. Data is protected from some viruses.
4. System migrations are simpler.
5. Finding data is easier and faster.
6. Data is accessible from multiple operating systems.

You can save your data to a partition on the same hard drive (similar to saving to C:/My Documents), and access and recovery of this data would be seamless. However, should you experience a hard disk failure, all the data on the failed disk could be lost.
