(1).
Windows7 install a backup system deployment is complete, it is necessary to do a Windows backup, which for the system recovery and migration is necessary. 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.
need special attention: After customizing a backup task, the system will default at 19:00 every Sunday to perform a backup plan, on this point is very easy to be ignored by some administrators in the case. Someone once set up a backup task and did not modify the default backup plan. Since the system was backed up, the system did not even perform a backup because his PC was running at 19:00 on Sunday. In this regard, we can modify according to their own needs, generally set the backup to a relatively idle time period of the working day. In addition, we can also set the frequency of system backup. For system security requirements, you can set up a backup every day. After the Windows Backup setup is complete, click on the Enable Schedule button and the system will perform the backup according to the schedule you set. Of course, we can also perform an immediate backup or change the backup plan.
(2). System Restore
general system error, unstable, or reinstall the system migrate user profiles, we can quickly recover by restoring the function or migrate system configuration. Enter the backup and restore center of Windows 7, users can restore from backup as needed. For example, you can restore only my files and restore all user files. In addition, we can also restore from other backups. Of course, if you have done a backup of the system image before, you can perform a restore of the entire system. Click Restore System Settings or Computer Link to enter the System Recovery window and click the Advanced Recovery Method link to enter the Advanced Recovery Method window. Here, there are two recovery methods for you to choose: First, restore the computer with the image, provided that the system image has been created before; second, reinstall the system with the Windows 7 installation disk, and then restore our files from the backup. These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and everyone can choose according to their needs.
3, system integration system imaging tool
(1). Prepared for a system image backup
no doubt, Windows system image backup is the most complete system backup Backup, this is also a job that system administrators must do. In fact, doing system image backup is not only based on precautions, but also to facilitate the rapid deployment of systems in the LAN. A dedicated system image backup tool is provided in Windows 7, so we don't need a third-party tool to easily back up the system image.
Also in Windows7 Backup and Restore Center window, click Create a system image link in the left pane to create a bootable system image wizard. For security reasons, it is not recommended to save the system image on the same disk as the system, because if this disk fails, the system will not be able to recover from the image. Based on this consideration, you can save the system image on a DVD disc or save it somewhere on the network.
(2). Straw system repair disc
system errors or crash is inevitable, there are often able to make a repair disc system back to life, creating a tool we can use in Windows7 system provides The system repairs the disc. In the Windows 7 Backup and Restore Center window, click the Create System Repair CD link in the left pane to launch the Create System Repair CD Wizard, which allows you to easily create a system repair disk. You can see that the two key files Winre.wim and boot.sdi are on the CD, responsible for system booting and repair. Booting the system with the system repair disc has the same final effect as the system repair that comes with Windows 7. However, the system repair disc is more widely used. When the repair computer can't enter, the repair disc comes in handy. In addition, this system repair CD can be used for booting and repairing of the Vsita system.
