The information in the first sector of any hard disk or diskette that identifies how and where an operating system is located so that it can be booted (loaded) into the computer's main storage or random access memory. The master boot record is also sometimes called the "partition sector" or the "master partition table" because it includes a table that locates the hard disk's partitions. In addition to this table, the master boot record also includes a program, known as the boot manager, that reads the boot sector record of the partition containing the operating system to be booted into RAM. In turn, that record contains a program that loads the rest of the operating system into RAM. Master file table (MFT) On an NTFS volume, the master file table is a file containing information about all other files in that volume. This includes the name of each file, its physical location on the disk, and other information. MFT See "Master file table (MFT)" on page 16. Most Recent backup A compressed incremental backup file reflecting the state of a hard disk at the time the backup is performed. Only files not matching those in the cumulative backup are stored in the most recent backup file. Most recent backups can be automated using Rapid Restore's Schedule feature or performed manually. One-Button Restore Manager (OBRM) The One-Button Restore Manager is the backbone of Rapid Restore's image and backup management capabilities. The OBRM is extremely powerful and integrates with several other Rapid Restore components so that users can easily restore the contents of their hard disk to a previously known state. The One-Button Restore Manager is easily accessible from several entry points including: v Before Windows Runs (Pre-Operating System Mode) v Windows Graphical User Interface (Windows Mode) v Over the Network (Remote Management Mode) Partition A subdivision of the space on a disk drive that is treated as though it were a separate physical unit. A computer with only one hard disk drive can have a single partition, often called drive C:, or it can have several partitions, such as drive C:, drive D:, and drive E. Peripheral device A device located on the outside of a computer (for example a tape drive or a USB hard disk). Permission The ability of a user to access or modify files, especially those not created by that user. Permissions exist for security reasons including the prevention of unauthorized access to sensitive information. 16 Portable 40 GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive with Rescue and Recovery

The

in
the
first
sector
of
any
hard
disk
or
diskette

an
operating
system
is
located
so
that
it
can
be
booted
(loaded)
into
the
computer’s
main
storage
or
random
access
memory.
The
master
boot
record
is
also
sometimes
called
the
“partition

or
the
“master

partitions.
In
addition
to
this
table,
the
master
boot
record
also
includes
a
program,
known
as
the
boot
manager,
that
reads
the
boot
sector
record
of
the
partition
containing
the
operating
system
to
be
booted
into
RAM.
In
turn,
that
record
contains
a
program
that
loads
the
rest
of
the
operating
system
into
RAM.
Master
file
table
(MFT)
On
an
NTFS
volume,
the
master
file
table
is
a
file
containing
information
about
all
other
files
in
that
volume.
This
includes
the
name
of
each
file,
its
physical
location
on
the
disk,
and
other
information.
