That way, in case we have any open files, they can be backed up as well. We can now click on the “Save settings and run backup” option.ĭuring the backup, first shadow copies are created for our files. We can boot from the Windows PE utility CD or we can boot from the Windows 7 media as well. We are also being warned that we might need a system repair disc if we want to restore a system image file. We can also choose to run the backup daily, weekly, or monthly. Note that we can also disable the schedule. If we click on the Change Schedule, we will see this screen. By default, once we create one backup, it will automatically backup every Sunday at 7 PM. Note that we can also change the schedule of the backup. On the next we can see a summary of what we are backing up. In our case we have selected Kim Verson’s and Students libraries, and we have selected C:\Docs folder. Note that we can choose to backup users libraries and we can choose to backup specific files and folders. If our system stops working, and we have a system image of it, we can easily restore it back to the point where we made the system image backup. When we include a system image of drives, our entire system is backed up to a VHD file, so we can use it for recovery.
This is also the case when we let Windows decide what to backup. Note that we can choose to include a system image of our drives. On the next screen we choose what to back up.
In our case we will choose the “Let me choose” option. On the next screen we choose if we want to let Windows to choose what to back, or we can choose ourselves. In our case we will choose E: drive as our destination and click Next. When we click on the “Set up backup” link, we will first have to choose the backup location. Have in mind that we cannot have more than one backup job on a system at a time. The first time we use the Backup and Restore tool we can choose the “Set up backup” option.
