Simple Steps For Backing Up the PC Or Laptop on Windows 7

I have lost all my data on my computer, and there is no way to do the data recovery. My lovely dog (baby photos) and my family's photos and movies were in the hard drive. They are all gone! I do not have another chance to see them once again, only in my memory now. The feeling is really bad when it happened. After this disaster, I backup my important data very often, and save them in different places. I only want to make sure that I won't lost my precious moment once again. Touch Wood!

Unless you're using the Windows 7 Home Edition, it is very simple to do the backup on Windows 7. This utility can keep your data and all your files more save without losing it if any accident occurred. Find Control Panel from the bottom left Start, then using the backups and Restore your files.

First, you need to how the backup to take place. You will want to back it up to the designated drive location, also to schedule the time in backing up the files on your PC. Follow these steps: Find Backup button in the Backup and Restore window. (START → Control Panel → System & Maintenance-> Back Up Your Computer)It will popup the select screen- Where You Want to Save Your Backup in the Setup Backup dialog box in the Set Up Backup dialog box, where you specify the drive on which you want the backup files stored.

If your computer is connected to a home network and you want to save these file on a network drives, pick the Save on a NETWORK, specify the location by selecting the drive in the Network Location text box, and enter a user ID and a password in their text boxes before clicking OK.

If you select the DVD drive on your computer, please note that it cannot save a complete image of all its system files on the removable media. If you're not going to backup the complete image of the hard drive with the Windows 7, you can specify a DVD drive and back it up a DVDr+/-. Then, click on the next button. Windows will displays the What Do You Want to Back Up options in the Set Up Backup dialog box, where you specify what libraries and files you want to back up. The default setting for the Windows Backup utility is to backs up all data files on your computer on a regular schedule.

If you want to specify some files to back up on your HDD, select the Let Me Choose option before clicking Next. Windows opens the Review Your Backup Settings screen in the Set Up Backup dialog box so that you can review the backup drive location and which files are to be backed up, along with the time and day the backup is regularly scheduled.

In order to To change the schedule that Windows 7 uses for making regular backups of your computer's hard drive, click the Change Schedule link and then specify the new schedule using the How Often, What Day, and What Time options. Click OK when you've done. Windows closes the How Often Do You Want to Back Up screen and returns you to the Review Your Backup Settings screen in the Set Up Backup dialog box. Select the Save Settings and Start Backup button.

Windows then displays the Backup in Progress indicator at the top of the Backup and Restore window which keeps you informed of the backup progress. The operating system backs up all the selected files, first by creating a shadow copy of the files and then by actually copying them to the designated drive, disc, or network folder. While Windows performs the backup, you can keep doing your work at the same time. To call a halt to a backup before Windows finishes copying all the files, click the Stop Backup button that appears in the Backup Files dialog box.
