Creating recovery DVDs/media
It is strongly recommended that you create recovery DVDs/media.
If the recovery files on your internal storage drive become
corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your system from your
recovery DVDs/media. Also, if your original internal storage drive
fails, you can restore your system to a new internal storage drive
from your recovery DVDs/media.
