When I do a backup to use on a different computer must I install the old system files (like Windows, Office, etc) before I install the backup info on Rebit or will rebit install everything from my old system?
If I get a virus do I have to format the hard drive and then install all the system disks before rebit? Or will rebit install everything back like it was?
Rebit will not reinstall your programs onto a different computer for you. This feature is only accessible through a complete restoration intended for the same PC using the Recovery CD. While ou will need to reinstall all of your Programs on a new computer, all the data files associated with those programs are saved on the Rebit drive and can be recovered to the proper directories just like any other file.
If you get a viral attack and would like to "go back in time" prior to the infection, you do not need to format the drive. Simply insert the Recovery CD and you will be able to restore the entire system (operating system, programs, files) to exactly how it was at the recovery point of your choosing.
