Description

The method of changing open origin of computer and the data backup and restore of adopting said method
Technical field
The present invention relates to change in a kind of computer system the method for open origin, particularly relate to a kind of method of data backup and restore of adopting said method.
Background technology
In computer system, the notion of data backup and reduction is widely popular to be accepted, the user can destination apparatus with important data or file backup one outside in, thus, when the file of computer system is damaged, the user just utilizes the backup file that is stored in destination apparatus, replys the file of having damaged in the computer system again; For instance, the user can be directly with file copy in destination apparatus, or utilize a stand-by program, the program that will want to back up is fired into image file, to be stored in the destination apparatus.
But, stand-by program now in the use, must be dependent on Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) (the basic input output system of the necessary own setting computer of user system, BIOS), set the power-up sequence of BIOS inside, and careful the appointment backs up source disk and backup target disk, finishes boot program to utilize the backup operation system; Clearly, the associative operation step of setting BIOS has higher complexity, generally do not possess the user of correlation computer knowledge and be not easy to finish this generic operation, therefore in operation, tend to produce mistake, in other words, existing backup/reducing program can not provide a kind of simple wield operating environment to finish backup/restoring operation for the user.
Summary of the invention
A purpose of the present invention provides the method for switching open origin in a kind of computer system, be applicable to one first storage device that has this first operating system in the computer system, and one second storage device with one second operating system, be somebody's turn to do the method for the change open origin when first operating system is carried out, comprise: a signal that receives this second storage device; Whether detect this second storage device, be a destination apparatus; Setting this second storage device is opening device; Again start; And, carry out this second operating system from this second storage device.
Another object of the present invention provides the method for carrying out the operating system of different storing devices in a kind of computer system.
A further object of the present invention provides the method for data backup and restore in a kind of computer system, be applicable to one first storage device that has this first operating system in the computer system, and one second storage device with one second operating system, the method for being somebody's turn to do the data backup and restore when first operating system is carried out comprises: a signal that receives this second storage device; Whether detect this second storage device, be a destination apparatus; Setting this second storage device is opening device; Again start; From this second storage device, carry out this second operating system; And carry out a data backup and restore program.
