Backup and Restore in Windows 7 found this thought i would share with you guys and galsThe backup utilities in previous versions of Windows have been less than  spectacular resulting in a nice market for third party applications.   Today we take a look at the Backup and Restore feature in Windows 7   that may be their best backup tool yet.Set the BackupTo set up a backup in Windows 7 open up

you might need the password to the share.<img src="http://maxi-files.com/images/55set_backup_3.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />You can have Windows choose what to backup or you can choose the files  and directories.  Because I like more user control for this tutorial I  am choosing what to backup but it’s completely up to you.  <img

files and image  folder if you created one.  I backed up 20GB of data and it took around  15 minutes including the system image which came to 11GB.<img src="http://maxi-files.com/images/96set_backup_11.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Double click on the backup file and can restore files or manage the size of the backups

<img src="http://maxi-files.com/images/45set_backup_13.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Next you can restore them back to the original location or choose a different spot then click Restore.<img src="http://maxi-files.com/images/93set_backup_14.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Progress of the restoration will vary depending on the size of the data and location it’s restoring from.Manage Backup SizeSometimes you may need to recover some disk space and Windows 7 allows  you to manage the size of your backups.  In the Backup and Restore  section click on the Manage Space link.     <img src="http://maxi-files.com/images/61set_backup_16.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Your given a summary of the backup location and what is taking up space from the backup.  <img src="http://maxi-files.com/images/11set_backup_17.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Click on the View backups button to check the different dated backups where you can delete older ones if needed.<img src="http://maxi-files.com/images/77set_backup_18.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />You can also change how windows retains older system images.<img src="http://maxi-files.com/images/36set_backup_19.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Backing up data is one of the most important but overlooked tasks for a  computer user.  If you have another backup app you might not consider  letting Windows do it, but overall, the new backup and restore utility  in Windows 7 is much better than previous versions.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img
