Windows 7 includes a
System Image Backup Tool, with which you can now backup or clone an image of
your disk. You no longer need to use a 3rd party software to do it.
To
create a System Image Backup in Windows 7, open Control Panel > Backup and
Restore. In the LHS pane click onCreate
an image backup.
The System
Image Backup Tool will
open.
Choose the destination
location and click Next. Choose the drives you want to image and click Next
again. Reconfirm and click Start.
The
Backup process will start and an image will be created at the specified
location.
The
tool will create a copy of the drives required for Windows 7 to run. It can
also include drives.
This
system image can be used to restore your computer if your hard drive or
computer stops working. But you cant choose individual items to restore using
the UI – you will have to follow this trick to extract individual files.
