1. Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Backup and
Restore.
2. Do one of the following:
If you've never used Windows Backup before, or recently upgraded your version of
Windows, select Set up backup, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
If you've created a backup before, you can wait for your regularly scheduled backup to occur, or
you can manually create a new backup by selecting Back up now.
If you’ve created a backup before, but want to make a new, full backup rather than updating the
old one, select Create new, full backup, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
Note: Do not back up files to the same hard disk that Windows is installed on. For example,
do not back up files to a recovery partition. Always store media used for backups (external
hard disks, DVDs, or CDs) in a secure place to prevent unauthorized people from having
access to your files; a fireproof location separate from your computer is recommended. You
might also consider encrypting the data on your backup.
For Restore:
You can use a restore point to restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time.
Restore points are automatically created each week by System Restore and when your PC detects
change, like when you install an app or driver.
1. Right-click the Start button, then select Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System.
2. In the left pane, select System protection.
3. Select the System Protection tab, and then select Create.
4. In the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then select Create.
Restore: -
1. Right-click the Start button, then select Control Panel > System and Maintenance
> Backup and Restore.
2. Do one of the following:
To restore your files, choose Restore my files.
To restore the files of all users, choose Restore all users' files.
3. Do one of the following:
To look through the contents of the backup, select Browse for files or Browse for
folders. When you're browsing for folders, you won't be able to see the individual
files in a folder. To view individual files, use the Browse for files option.
To search the contents of the backup, select Search, type all or part of a file
name, and then select Search.
Tip: If you're searching for files or folders associated with a specific user account, you can
improve search results by typing the location of the file or folder in the Search for box. For
example, to search for all JPG files that were backed up, type JPG in the Search for box. To
only search for JPG files associated with the user Bill, type C:\Users\Bill\JPG in the Search
for box. Use wildcard characters such as *.jpg to search for all JPG files that were backed up.
You can restore files from a backup that was created on another computer
running Windows Vista or Windows 7.
1. Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > System and Maintenance >
Backup and Restore.
2. Choose Select another backup to restore files from, and then follow the steps in the
wizard. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type
the password or provide confirmation.
