GDS is software that provides a highly reliable system environment at times of failure, allowing you to continue normal service.
However, using a mirrored system environment does not guarantee absolute safety.
Computer problems could occur due to hardware, software, operation error and poor environment.
A reliable method for working around to such problems is creating "backups." To minimize the damage caused by trouble, periodical backup is strongly recommended.
Backing Up and Restoring a System Disk
Among system disk volumes, volumes (such as /opt and /home) other than system volumes (/, /usr, /var and swap area) can be backed up by following the procedures described in this section. For system volume backup and restore, see "Backing Up and Restoring a System Disk" and "Backing Up and Restoring a System Disk through an Alternative Boot Environment."
