Can I make a backup of my BIOS with True image 2014 before flashing a new version of my BIOS?

Just in case flashing the BIOS would go wrong?

Marc, sorry but the answer is no!  There are no backup applications that allow the BIOS to be backed up to my knowledge, other than the BIOS Update utilities themselves if they offer this option.  Some BIOS have 2 copies to help protect from an update turning the PC into a door stop!

Thanks,

I was already afraid for that.

I found just minutes ago a tool  to save the original BIOS before upgrading to the new one, so that I can restore the old one if needed.
