When it comes to system restore, the first thing we think of is the famous Ghost. In addition to being a basic system backup, Ghost can also be directly used for system clone installation, which makes it the most widely used system recovery and installation tool in recent years. . However, in Win 7, all of this has changed, especially the latest enhanced system image recovery function, compared with Ghost is even more even, even some features are more than Ghost.
Creating images is more flexible than Ghost
It has become very convenient to create a system image in Win 7, just click "All Programs → Maintenance → Backup and Restore" in the start menu. You can see the Create System Image on the left to open the Create System Image window. The whole process of the creation process, the user needs to do is to select according to the prompts, and "next step", it is not an exaggeration to say, as long as you know Chinese, you can create an image.

importantly, compared with the Ghost, Win 7 image function has a strong advantage , you can freely add other partitions and directories to the image list, and complete the backup work in one go.
When we create the image file, the Win 7 system partition is automatically included in the image file list. If you want to add another directory, you can click the "Backup" option in the "Backup and Restore" panel. Set backup (S)", select the save location of the backup file in the pop-up settings window, and then "Next" to customize the addition of other directories. As a result, the data backup work is very simple, you can back up all the files at once, without having to repeat the operation. This is also a lot more flexible than Ghost.
Setting the backup location
We all know that the operation of backing up the system with Ghost is basically done only after the computer has just been installed. After that, it seems that there will not be many people again. Re-create an image file, although we have installed numerous upgrade patches, updated a lot of software, perhaps because no one will know when their system will crash, so they are too lazy to do a backup again. But the problem also comes with it. When the system really collapses and needs to be restored, we can only blame ourselves for being lazy. But in Win 7, this problem has been effectively solved.
In the "Backup and Restore" panel, "Enable Plan (U)", you can start the scheduled task of creating a system image, so the system will back up at the time you choose, and according to your requirements Save the backup file.

Tip: We can also set the “Management Space (M)” in the “Backup and Restore” panel. The space occupied by the backup file and the way you choose to keep the older system image. The latter option can be selected to "Keep the latest system image and minimize the space used for backup" option. However, we recommend that you make a clean image file after the system is installed and save it separately, and then select this option in the backup space management to avoid system problems after the automatic backup image file.

similar in Win 7, the image recovery can be achieved by starting the disc, it can also operate in the Win 7 desktop environment. If your system has crashed, you can boot from the recovery disc and select "System Image Recovery" in the options to search for the image file and restore the system.
