CONT

Il est possible, à peu ou pas de frais, de faire une image miroir de votre installation de Windows. Contrairement au disque original de Windows ou au disque de récupération qui accompagnait votre ordinateur, l’image a pour avantage principal de faire une copie intégrale de l’ordinateur au moment précis qui vous convient. Ainsi, en cas de panne matérielle ou logicielle, vous pourrez récupérer votre ordinateur dans l’état précis où il était au moment de la création de cette image, vos imprimantes configurées, vos logiciels installés et paramétrés, vos comptes utilisateurs créés et tous les documents qu’ils contiennent.

PHR

Produire une image miroir.

Record 6 2003-12-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Internet and Telematics
CONT

If a site is mirrored, log files from all sites should be compiled to measure use of the same content at various sites.

OBS

Mirror site : because the Internet population has exploded in recent years, a lot of archive servers can’t cope with the load. One solution is to create an exact copy of a server--a process called mirroring. Mirror sites divert some of the traffic from the original site. It's not unusual to find a dozen or more mirrors of busy ftp sites.
