How to create a Windows 7 Backup Image



Sure, you back up all your important data files, but a nice feature of Windows 7's built-in backup program is that it can create a complete system backup image, which will restore all your programs and settings too. Here's how to do it:

1. Click Start and in the Search box, type Backup

2. Click Backup and Restore in the list of programs shown

3. In the left pane, click Create A System Image

4. Select a location where you want to save the system image. It should not be on the same partition where Windows is installed

5. Click Next

6. Choose which drive to back up. To back up your operating system and program files, select the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:

7. Click Start Backup

8. After the backup finishes (which could take a while if you have lots of programs and/or data), click Create a System Repair Disk in the left pane

9. Insert a blank DVD or CD and click Create Disk Now you can use the System Repair Disk and your system image to restore your computer.
