Restore Disks Category Overview
The Restore Disks category, identified by the numeric ID 7225, falls under the Software > Computer Software > Restore Disks path. This classification is reserved for specialized software and physical media used specifically for system recovery, restoration, and troubleshooting.
What Belongs in This Category
This category includes tools designed to recover, restore, or reinstall operating systems and system files. Examples found in the US market include:
- Operating system recovery media, such as USB keys or discs provided by manufacturers for hardware restoration.
- Bootable repair and diagnostic toolkits used for hard drive repair or system troubleshooting.
- Disk imaging and cloning software intended for creating system backup and restore points.
- Professional data recovery utilities for SSDs, HDDs, and network-attached storage devices.
- Password reset and system format utility discs.
What Does Not Belong Here
Do not place general computer utilities or maintenance software that does not focus on system restoration here; those belong in Computer Utilities & Maintenance Software. Additionally, antivirus tools and general security software should be listed under Antivirus & Security Software. Operating systems sold as standalone retail software for new installations belong in Operating Systems, rather than in the recovery-focused restore disks category. Office suites and productivity tools must be categorized under Business & Productivity Software or Office Application Software.
Feed Implementation
Use either the numeric 7225 or the full path Software > Computer Software > Restore Disks in your google_product_category attribute. While this attribute is optional, providing it prevents Google from miscategorizing your recovery tools into more general software segments.
