1. Use System Restore Echo System Restore is a standard system function, which has become the core component of the system since WindowsME. As the system is upgraded, this feature is more complete. The system restore function of Windows 7 is still greatly improved compared with the previous system.
Right-click Computer and select Properties to enter the system page on the desktop Control Panel, click System protection link in the left pane to enter the System Restore Settings window.
(1). System settings and file version restores for Windows 7, System Restore includes system settings restore and text version restore, which is what we usually call the system environment and shadow copies. Normally, Windows 7 only has system protection enabled in the system partition, and includes both system restore and file version restore. However, in Windows 7, system restore and file version restore can be split. The usual practice is to enable system restore and file version recovery at the same time in the system partition, and only open the file version restore in other partitions. This not only improves system performance, but also saves disk space. The setting method is to select the disk partition that needs to be set in the system protection tab, and then click the configuration button to enter the configuration page. You can see that there are three options under the restore settings: selecting the first restore system settings and the previous version of the file will open the system restore and shadow copy of the partition; select the second to restore only the previous version of the file only open The shadow copy feature of the partition; selecting the third item to turn off system protection will turn off both functions in that partition.
(2). Manually Creating a Restore Point After a system restore of a partition is turned on, its system partition creates a restore point to the system intermittently (default once a day), or establishes a restore point when the system installs applications and drivers. For the other non-system partitions, only the shadow copy function is enabled, and when the file in the partition is modified, a shadow copy of the file is created. It should be noted that when setting protection for a partition, you first need to create a restore point for the partition, so that system restore is available when performing system restore or file recovery. The method of creating a restore point is very simple. Click the Create button in the System Protection tab to pop up the Create Restore Point Wizard. Follow the wizard to complete the creation of the restore point.
(3). The way to restore the system is usually the case, system restore is a last resort. Generally, it is used when a certain software or driver is installed and the software conflicts, and the system is unstable or even crashes. As far as Windows 7 is concerned, there are two ways to restore the system: one is to enter the system in the system property window, click the system protection tab, first select the system partition that needs to be restored, and then click the system restore button. You can start the System Restore Wizard and select a recent restore point to complete the system restore process according to the wizard. As for the restore of the file version, you can right-click on the file to select the previous version, and then select a version from the file version list to restore or copy.
sometimes more serious system failure, you can not start System Restore to normal mode. At this point we can try to enter the safe mode to start the system restore, if you can not enter the security mode, we can choose to restore the system from the system recovery options console to restore the system. Press and hold the F8 key while the system is booting to enter the system advanced boot options menu, select Repair computer and press Enter to enter the System Recovery Options console. In this process, you need to select a user and enter a password to log in. Select and click SystemRestore to launch the System Restore Wizard, and the restore process is the same as in normal mode. In addition, running StartupRepair starts the system repair function, running SystemImageRecovery to recover the system from the backed up system image. It should be noted that Vista can also perform system restore in offline state, but it needs to use the Vista system installation disk to boot the system into the system recovery options console. In Windows 7, there is no need to install a disk, because Windows 7 has integrated it into the system.
2, backup and restore freedom to customize Windows7 backup and restore functions with similar functionality compared to Vista, the biggest improvement is the addition of new options, we are free to customize these options, control system backup. Execute the control panel rarr; all control panel items rarr; backup and restore can enter the Windows7 backup and restore center, where we can complete the system backup and restore is all operations.
(1). System Backup After Windows 7 installation and deployment is complete, it is necessary to make a Windows backup, which is very necessary for system recovery and migration. In the Backup and Restore Center, click the Set Backup link to launch the Widnows System Backup Wizard. We can save the backup to any non-system partition with enough space on the local, and of course it can be saved to a network location, such as a file server. Enter its UNC address in the network location, along with its network credentials such as username and password. If you want to save it locally, I recommend that you save it in a partition of another local hard disk. For backup content, Windows 7 saves the data in all users' libraries, desktops, and Windows folders by default, and also creates a system image. Of course, some backup items are not what we need, so we can customize what we want to back up as shown in Figure 5. Here we can check the content that you want to save (such as the library, user-related content in the system disk and application information, etc.), if you do not need to save the system image, you can remove the system image including the drive SystemReserved, (C:) The front hook.
