How to make a backup of the system with the Backup and Restore function in windows 7 - video tutorial

In this video tutorial will teach you how to make a backup of the operating system where you have problems with the system (does not want to boot, blue screen, viruses, etc).
To back up the system we use the Backup and Restore function in Windows 7 a function much improved over previous versions of Windows.
We can even make a recovery CD or DVD that we will use when the system is "dead" and does not want to leave.
Backup is easy to do, as well as restoration, restoration can be done either from the GUI or using the recovery CD.
To my surprise, Backup and Restore function moves incredibly well, I can say that it moves as well as commercial software from Acronis, Norton or Paragon.
Very useful can be programmed to create incremental backups, they are small backups containing only changes made to the system since the last backup.
Overall I am satisfied with the backup system in Windows 7 can say I'm ready to give up Acronis True Image, True Image software costs money, why give money when you can do it free, well not exactly free, but if all windows have given money why not make use of all options.

    If you remember, I asked what microphone you have to be so good to hear you.
    I bought that room that you've recommended it to me, that A4Tech PK-636MA but nothing Fatz is no different from others in terms of clarity of sound (sounds as "good" as in tutorials coworkers ).
    Question: Is there some setting that I do not know? I noticed that the sound in your tutorial is so high and I think sounds good.

        What we do and what settings to capture software we can not say. That's the secret of our profession and we reserve the right not to disclose it. I still strongly recommend you to use CamStudio which we have already tutorial. You can find it by typing in the search box to the right of the black border: CamStudio, you enter and you will find the tutorial. Know that matter and sound card that you have, nothing put in her microphone billion if it does not know how to manage it properly.

          "We can't tell you how we do it and what settings we make for the capture software. It is the secret of our profession and we reserve the right not to disclose such a thing. "

          And I used to say to myself: “Look, sir, there are still altruistic people today. If there is at least one such person among us, it is enough to restore your hope in humanity and to believe that we are not lost yet… "

          I seem to be naive…

          • Adrian admin said

            Cascarino:
              

            I'm curious what you did out of altruism for others? What projects do you develop, what do you support, what big projects do you have on the internet? Who do you help with tutorials, how much have you done in your life from that altruism you are talking about and do you think that only others should have it but not you? I haven't seen you get involved in comments to help others, at least out of altruism that it's all about him. Many claims, few facts…

          • Cascarino said

            I have no claim. Only I admire your modesty. Did you know that the biggest mistake is not to help others, but to be arrogant?

            When I was talking about altruism, I don't think I was talking about myself. It's about you. It was a way to congratulate yourself for what you do and what you don't do. But a lot of water will have to flow on the Danube until we all get along…

    I don't really understand a thing, I back up to a dvd but I don't know how to choose the boot path from the dvd, I tried once and I don't know what I did through the bios, I got the pc restarted, and when to start I "press any boot dvd" appeared and it appeared to me to restart again. Eventually I had to install the operating system again.

    The 2 times I was forced to use it until now. Goes great. You need a minimum partition 50 gig to do all the work. CD back not more than mega.Trebuie 1 2 or backup set to be done periodically and remove the existing one.

  21. Hello! Very good tutorial. And because I read the comments that were discussed on the video card drivers and I have a question myself.
    I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470. I recently installed Windows drivers 7 and all but I have a problem. When I see a movie or online video fullscreen when there is no image on the screen. Appears smaller than the screen and is framed by some black edges.
    How do I protect my image full screen? I tried all settings but still like Catalyst. Thanks in advance!
    All the best!

      Exactly, have the Windows exactly as it was and how it looks in the day you make backups

      • Adrian:

        yes but you also need a cleaning program eg: "tuneup utilities or power suite"
        Needed to clean the registry and traces after restore ..
        I hope I was helpful ..

  23. GOOD.
    I also have a request… .because I'm not good enough on the pc yet, but I learned a lot from you and thank you in this way, I installed a windows 7 recently and I have the old one on the partition c. how can I delete it? do I have to re-enter the bios or just give it a dilute to the file that says windows old?

      Will soon be a tutorial on your problem. Please be patient. Tomorrow will be the safest tutorial about your problem because it seems like it's one of the most common problems

      Hi Geta..the solution to your problem is very simple ..: Win7 has the "cool" option to save one, two, three or as many operating systems you had previously installed on your hard drive in a "windows.old" folder. get rid of the old windows you just have to delete the respective folder..WARNING !!! if you have something to save from the old windows do not hesitate !!!
      For example in Windows.old \ Users \ (your profile name) \
      Here you will find folders for Music, Videos, Pictures, Desktop, etc. ..
      I hope I was helpful

  24. Nice tutorial, but I still ramam at Acronis. : D

  25. Yeah ... that's in case you want to persist without reinstalling windows. I say this because when installing, win7 can save everything you had in partition C so to speak .. it seems more elegant to me to install Windows without partitioning it in any way ..in fine "how many huts so many habits" thank you for what you do for us

  26. cristi you didn't tell us what we do after we create the windows image. when do we want to restore the system how do we enter? where? how do we restore windows? many don't know where I restore. but you could do a tutorial with restoring the system after you made the backup if you still have the video camera! good health and good work with site no. 8 in romania

    I did back up akm 2 weeks now I no longer work at all pc-u windows do not open up as I give back? thanks

    Maybe you want to say "how do I restore it" (as a backup you did once)
    If you were careful to say that the tutorial map wizard to create a backup and offers to create a Recovery Disk (which you must do)
    Basically, in the "Make Recovery Disk" step, you burned an ISO image on a DVD, you made a bootable DVD that helps you in these situations, to restore the backup in case the windows are no longer functional at all. However, you can use a DVD with the same version of windows (if you backed up from a 32-bit windows enterprise the DVD with which you will restore the backup must also be a DVD with 32-bit Windows Enterprise) to restore backup created

    I have not been sufficiently Atet the tutorial. When you backup, you are what they choose where to save it. We have no way to know which partition / backup location you chose.
    Also, if you wanted to keep only the first backup and not make other backups automatically, you had to disable the automatic backup (Schedule> Change settings) which is also seen in the "photo" in the player that appears before playing the video tutorial.
    I should be sorry to learn and some English, Schedule = schedule. Schedule Backup = Backup scheduled / autmat

  34. Hi, I followed all the steps in this video. We have created a system image that I put it on an external hard drive. I made the recovery disc, everything went ok! The problem is the following: Backup was to put it on another partition. When the process was over I appeared this error. http://postimg.org/image/e7x3amtz3/
    What causes this error?

  35. Why did you delete the post? maybe there was someone to give me advice!

  36. Good evening.
    I have a question. System backup is stored online. The computer is not working (operating system). How do I can use backups?

    • Adrian Gudus said

      Copa safety (backups) can be stored wherever you want, on your hard disk, DVDs, external hard disk or network to another computer.
      If Windows does not start and you can not access the operating system, you can restore backups ulfacut with DVD or USB stick on which you installed Windows 7 or all of the Backup section of the Control Panel you can create a disk Recovery (Create recovery disk)

  37. I can't select the partition to back up. If I insert the stick, it recognizes me, but I get the message 'The drive is not a valid backup location.' . What to do? Thank you in advance.

    • Adrian Gudus said

      Most likely your stick is formatted FAT 32 and as you probably know this file format does not support writing files larger 4 GB on it. A backup easily exceed this size. Another reason could be a size too small USB stick. Backup storage is usually better to use another partition or an external hard drive. Sticks generally have little storage capacity: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 32 GB or GB. Depending on how many you have installed on PC software, a backup can reach up to 30-32 GB.

  38. hello! I have a problem. can not backup windows. I bought the laptop guy at the store said that I did a backup to DVD. I recently tried to use it but we did not know why. DVD backup has only 223 MB I'm too small. I tried to restart and then give and F9 F12 and tried to give direct boot from DVD but not working. I do not know the cause. I see a window with several options when I came F9 and I selected System Restore and then select the DVD but does not directly take me open it. I do not know what to do. if possible I would appreciate advice. nice ms

  39. … A great spell with the restoration offered by windows through back up. After installing the windows with the appropriate updates, without installing another program, I made a backup with the system image on the CD. When the system started coughing, I did a windows restore and, surprise: the system was brought to the state before the installation of the programs, as at the time of the backup, however, it kept all the roots of the programs that I installed after I did the backup. Basically, the partition where the windows were installed did not change at all, in the sense that the space occupied before the programs remained as occupied after the restoration with the respective roots, or as they will be called… .pam-pam.

  42. Hi, some time ago I used windows xp and acronis for back-up, I switched to windows 7 and I used system image creation from OS 7 + cd. recovery, in time I made up-date and of course another recovery image, I had 3 and I deleted the oldest one (I still have 2) after a while when the mozilla had started to block and probably from a few ,, experiments ”software or etc I couldn't back up, it can't find any recovery image and I didn't manage to give the location manually (E ..). The HDD has no problems (bads) Is there any way manually or do I do a "clean" reinstallation ??
