A comprehensive introduction to Ghost XP system related to backup knowledge

Although the win xp system is very powerful, it has effect in the interface method, but sometimes the system is damaged or you need to do a backup job when you want to reinstall the system, then how to do it? ?

In addition, even the security mode is a kind of graphical interface. If XP is destroyed too much and it is unable to enter the GUI, the restore function will be useless. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a MS-DOS-compatible Windows 9X and use GHOST to back up XP, which constitutes multiple operating systems, so that when a serious failure occurs in Windows XP, use this GHOST backup for emergency recovery. I don't have much to say about the usage of GHOST, but the preparation in the early stage is more stressful. If it is not done well, the backup time may be very long, and the second is that the effect is not good. Let's talk about the precautions when backing up.

First, transfer or delete the page file

First, you should transfer the page file to a different partition than XP, or delete the page file Pagefile.sys in DOS state, because this file The default setting is 1.5 times your physical memory, which takes up a lot of disk space. If you don't delete it, it will affect the preparations below. It will also double the backup compression time.

Second, turn off hibernation and system restore

XP sleep function and system restore is the same as the page file, taking up a lot of space. The hibernation function requires that your partition has the same space as the physical memory, and you cannot specify the storage partition, so it is not closed. You can turn these features back on after the backup is over.

Third, delete temporarily unwanted fonts, temporary files, etc.

If you are a user who frequently calls the TureType font to make WordArt, you may have a large number of font files in the XP directory. These fonts may reach hundreds of megabytes, but they are not necessary to run XP. It is recommended to delete them, and then reload them after the backup is finished. Anyway, it is just a copy. Otherwise, the GHOST time will be very long, especially after the GHOST compression method is selected, because the font itself is very large, the compression room is small, and it takes too long. In addition, you should delete the temporary files of IE, empty the recycle bin files, etc., otherwise it will waste storage space and time.

Fourth, scan the disk and defragment the disk

XP must scan the disk before using GHOST backup, to ensure that there is no cross-link and file fragmentation on the partition. Even if you are using multiple operating systems, and the last fragmentation or other disk errors caused by the crash does not occur in XP, such as Windows 98 soft shutdown after the crash, you force a reboot caused disk errors, XP is starting It can also be detected. Then XP will ask if you want to scan the disk, not only scan the partition where Windows 98 is located, and each partition waits for more than ten seconds before scanning to let the user choose whether to cancel, which seriously affects the startup speed of XP. Therefore, before using GHOST backup, you must first scan the error on the partition to avoid backing up a bad XP.

Backup is a must in the process of using our computer. We must learn how to install the system and how to back up the computer data. This way, we don't have to worry about data loss even if there is a problem with the system.
