Whether it is a computer rookie, or a familiar computer enthusiast, I must have suffered from computer virus damage, accidentally delete files, what should I do at this time? What? Reinstalling the system, although it is worry-free, but many applications have to be re-installed, it is always uncomfortable. In fact, you can completely restore the system files and restore them when the disaster strikes.

Backup and restore are always key components of the system. In Vista, system backup and restore functions have been enhanced. So, what kind of backup and restore scheme is provided in Windows 7? This article will give you an experience on this aspect.

1. Using System Restore to Easily Return to the Soul

System Restore is a standard system function that has become a core component of the system since Windows ME. 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 on the computer and select Properties to go to the System page of the Control Panel. In the left pane, click the System Protection link 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 we usually say 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 create a restore point

After the system recovery of the partition is enabled, its system partition will establish a restore point to the system (default once a day), or in the system installation. Establish restore points when applying software 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). System Restore Method

Normally, 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 properties window, click the system protection tab, first select the system partition that needs to be restored, and then click System Restore. The button launches the System Restore Wizard,

Selecting a recent restore point Follow the wizard to complete the system restore process. 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 a system failure is serious and you cannot start a system restore in 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 System Restore to launch the System Restore Wizard, and the restore process is the same as in normal mode. In addition, running Startup Repair starts the system repair function, which runs System Image Recovery 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. Previous123Next page Total 3 pages
