| Attrib | the Windows command to change system and hidden attributes for a file(s) |
| Backup and Restore | The Windows utility used to create, and update scheduled backups of user data and the system image |
| basic disk | The term Windows uses to describe a hard drive when it is a stand-alone drive in the system |
| cd | The Windows command to change the current default directory |
| chkdsk | the Windows command to verify that the hard drive does not have bad sectors that can corrupt the file system |
| cluster | On a magnetic hard drive, one or more sectors that constitute the smallest unit of space on the drive for storing data (also referred to as a file allocation unit) |

| differential backup | backs up files that have changed or been created since the last full backup |
| dir | the Windows command to list files and directories |
| Disk Cleanup | a Windows utility to delete temporary files to free up space on a drive |
| Disk Management | a Windows utility used to install and manage drives |
| dynamic disk | A way to partition one or more hard drives so that they can work together to increase space for data storage or to provide fault tolerance or improved performance. |
| dynamic volume | A volume type used with dynamic disks by which you can create a single volume that uses space on multiple hard drives |
| elevated command prompt window | A Windows command prompt window that allows commands that require administrative privileges |
| FAT | A table used on hard drive or other storage drive used by the FAT file system to track the clusters used to contain a file |
| File Explorer Options applet | used to control how users view files and folders in Explorer and what they can do with these files |

| RAID | several methods of configuring multiple hard drives to store data to increase logical volume size and improve performance, or to ensure that if one drive fails, the data is still available from another drive |
| RAID 0 (or striping) | using space from two or more physical disks to increase disk space available for a single volume. performance improves because data is written evenly across all disks |
| RAID 1 (or mirroring) | type of drive imaging that duplicates data on one drive to another drive and is used for fault tolerance |
| restore point | A snapshot of Windows system, usually made before installation of new hardware or applications |
