Get your PC against disasters with Vista Backup & Restore

Whether you're a business or an individual it is more important than ever to be able to recover as quickly as possible and with minimum loss of data. The understanding of Microsoft Vista Ultimate and Business editions are now delivered with a good and easy to use and a backup service restoration. However, it is surprising how many people do so little about it and do not use it. This paper presents this service useful and how to get the most out of it so you can feel safe knowing recover from the disaster is simplicity itself.

A prerequisite for using this feature in Vista is to buy the license for Vista Business or Ultimate. Unfortunately, Microsoft did not already provided in other versions of Vista. There are two types of backup, you can use, and they affect how you restore the system:

1. Using the computer backup, it is possible to write what is called an image backup of your PC while a backup device generally a USB key or external drive. This snapshot of your system allows you to retrieve exactly the same point in time. However, because it is an "image" of your system disk, it must restore the PC to a drive system for at least the same capacity. Usually, it would be the same PC is not a problem. It is also the longest of the two backup options because it supports the entire machine.


2. Using "Backup Files", you can save your data files selected such as images, photos, music, documents, spreadsheets, email and application data. This type of backup that is incremental backup only changed files, so it is usually very rapid, taking only a few minutes. However, it will not allow you to restore a complete system, only files backed up.

In general, we recommend the use of both types of backup and mix to cover all your data and system. For example you can make a full backup a week, but a daily backup file. In the case of a disaster you need to restore the system backup first, then backup every day (since additional) which contains the changes that are not on the full system backup.

The service has a timer function within it so that regular backups of files or image can be taken on a regular basis be daily, weekly or monthly, whatever suits your needs. With the speed of modern readers, backup your PC everything can be done in one hour and in the case of a disaster be recovered in the same amount of time.

There are many options for backup devices, but with the steadily decreasing cost of disk drives and USB keys these are looking like consumers and users the very small backup device of choice. You need a minimum of 80 GB of space to back up your entire system and this is what I recommend you do. An external hard drive would normally be connected to your PC via a USB2 socket free, but in some cases, you may also have eSATA, Ethernet or Firewire (IEEE1394) connections available as alternatives. The fastest connections to use for backup in reverse order are USB2, Firewire and eSATA.

If your machine to stop working for either software or hardware reasons related to image backup allows you to return to its previous state and work to make sure everything would work perfectly as it did before. What this means is that something should go wrong with your current installation as a failed drive, windows file corrupted or virus problems, all that is necessary to do is enter in the Windows Vista Ultimate or Business disk, connect the backup device and start the PC. Once you've done, follow the steps below to completely restore your PC to the exact state as it was the last backup.
