Use your Windows XP backup plan

to backup, many people immediately think of the famous Ghost, but you know, the Windows system itself provides us with a backup function, this is the "system recovery function", and its function and Not much worse than Ghost. Let me experience it with me.

Here I think that "My Documents" makes a backup plan as an example to tell everyone how to use it.

1. Open the “Start Menu” and select “All Programs → Accessories → System Tools → Backup” to start the “Backup Tool”. If you find that the Backup and Restore Wizard is launched, click on "Advanced Mode" on it to switch to the "Backup Tool" main window (Figure 1).

2. Click the “Schedule Job” tab to bring up a date window and select the start date for the backup plan execution. Then click the "Add Job" button to bring up the "Backup Wizard" interface.

3. In the "What to Back up" dialog box, select the "Backup selected files, drives and network data" item. Click "Next" to enter the "Projects to Back Up" dialog box (Figure 2), select "My Documents" in the file list of the interface.

4. Type the name and save path of the backup file in the Backup Type, Destination, and Name dialog box. Then select "Normal" in the "Backup Type" interface. If you want to verify the integrity of the backup file or when the file is being written, you can also select the "Backup to backup data" and "Use volume shadow copy" items in the "How to backup" interface. As for the "Backup Options" interface, we only need to implement the software default settings, no need to change.

5. Then enter the "Backup time" dialog box (Figure 3). If you want to back up immediately, select the "Now" item and click "Next". If you have selected the "Next" item, you must first enter a job name for the plan, and then click the "Set Backup Plan" button to enter the "Scheduled Jobs" setting interface. If you use Windows's scheduled tasks frequently, you won't be familiar with this interface. Here you can set the period of execution of the task and the specific time.

6. After setting, return to the wizard interface and click “Next”. The program will ask you to enter the user password, which is actually your account password. If your computer does not have an account password set, you should go to "User Account" in the "Control Panel" to set it. If you do not enter a password or enter an incorrect password, in most cases the scheduled task will not start. Finally, enter the completion interface, click the "Finish" button!
