A
System Backup involves all of the system files, boot files, and program files.
Only backing up both the system and boot files can ensure that the operating
system works normally when restoring the operating system. Users can rely on backup files to restore operating
systems to a normal state once a disaster occurs, like a system crash, hard drive failure, mistaken operation, Windows
update, and more.
In this
guide we’re focusing on creating an automatic incremental backup (one that
backs up only the files that have changed since the last backup), because once
you set it up, you don’t have to worry about it again. If there is any system problem, we can
employ ShadowMaker again to system restore windows 7 via the backed up
image file. It can help to save a lot of time.
That is
to say, the boot partition was a system partition and the system partition was
a boot partition. Because of this, with those earlier operating systems, it was
necessary to backup only one partition during system backup.
An image backup copies everything on your drive, including
partitions and the boot sector. It’s the only way to back up your Windows
installation properly, with all of your programs and settings. When
backing up your data, you might choose to do a selective backup - just back up
your data and settings and skip everything that can be reinstalled later from a
CD.
One good thing about using the Windows built-in system image
backup is you don’t need to install any third party windows 7 backup software such as Acronis
TrueImage or ShadowMaker and all Windows 7 users have it immediately to hand.
With this powerful backup software, you can define multiple backup sessions each having
different backup jobs. A backup Job lets you back up a whole disk, a single
folder or few selected files.
