I believe many users after you install Win8 just consider one thing, and that is how the backup system, after all, heavy Installing the system is a very troublesome thing. After backing up the system, if you encounter a crash in the future, just restore the system. This issue of "Win8 Encyclopedia" will introduce you how to quickly back up the system.

Select “Set Backup> We can back up our system to our custom drive letter. At the same time, we can also back up files to the network, but in general, ordinary users do not use too much.
