Backup default Windows 7?

When you use the backup utility Windows 7, I noticed that it does not select a drive that contains more than the backup destination. In my situation, I actually had a file huge virtual machine I is no longer necessary and deleted. This allowed me to continue. Then I realized, Windows 7 backup checks the space then allows you to select the folders to back up. It should be in reverse order. Am I wrong?

Hello

By design it not prompt you to the available space before the backup. You must manually check before backup. I suggest you follow the steps in the link below.

Should what backup settings I use to maximize my disk space?

    Hello

    When you back up your files using Windows backup, you can let Windows choose what is backed up or you can select folders and drives that you want to back up. Depending on what you select, your backup will contain the elements described in the following sections.

    1. Let Windows choose

    If you let Windows choose what is backed up, the following items are included in your backup:

    ·          Data files that are saved in libraries, on the desktop and by default to the Windows folders for all people with a user account on the computer.

    ·          Only local files in libraries are included in the backup. If you have files in a library that are saved on a drive located on a different computer on a network, on the Internet, on the same drive that you are saving the backup on, or on a drive that is not formatted using the NTFS file system, they are not included in the backup.

    ·          The default Windows folders include AppData, Contacts, desktop, downloads, Favorites, links, saved parties and searches.

    2 Let me choose

    You can choose to back up individual folders, libraries, or readers.

    Notes

    ·         All files in known system (folders that contain files that Windows needs to run) folders, and files known program (files that define themselves as part of a program in the registry when the program is installed) be not saved even if they are in a selected folder.

    ·         If a folder or drive is not selected, the contents of this folder or drive is not saved.

    Windows backup won't back up the following:

    ·         Program files (files that define themselves as part of a program in the registry when the program is installed).

    ·         Files stored on hard disks that are formatted using the FAT file system.

    ·         Files that are in the trash.

    ·         Temporary files on disks smaller than 1 GB.

  • I have questions about the backup of Windows 8.

    Original title: backup of Windows 8

    Hello, I have two questions regarding windows 8 backup (office). I just bought a new laptop hard drive WD to use for the backup of my computer. Until I plug it to my computer, are there recommendations on what to do for any software that could be on this drive. In previous portable drives that I used, when I plug in they usually form any software that is used for the default backup. According to me, a mark was memeo. I would avoid any conflict with the windows backup software that is part of windows-8, so I ask for advice before I plug this new drive.

    The second issue is that I probably backup my computer so that I can do a clean install of my OS of windows 8. What is the best way to prepare my hard drives so that I get the best possible instillation? The instillation of my previous is considered to be defective and I don't want to wear one of these errors in the new instillation. It would be appreciated also all the tips on how to deal with the backup for this project and transfer my files on the computer. Uses the best utility to backup windows to do this, or is there another type of software I should use? Thank you.

    Salvation of the brain,

    Thank you for the update.

    -New notebook models are supplied without recovery Toshiba DVD
    -Recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition and partition hidden with recovery image doesn't exist

    -You can start "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator", using the shortcut placed on the desktop (factory State)

    So to help you please let us know what model of laptop do, you must, folder HDDRecovery is on second partition available and still using the factory settings?

  • How do I backup updates windows vista installed before recovery to factory setting?

    Is it possible to backup installed windows updates? I intend to do a reinstallation of the system on a DV2225nr to factory settings, but I don't want to lose all the Windows Update has been installed in it. The last time when I did a recovery to factory settings it already took several hours just by practice and even Windows updates took forever to update. Thanks in advance. any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello FM300zx,

    You cannot back up your windows updates... you have to REINSTALL them from the Windows Update program on the computer... no other way around it... insofar as some need to be installed before others are still visible on the computer...

  • Context change default window

    A user of my application complains that the default context window makes no sense for him. I agree that it does not sese to a user of an application. Is there a way to change this?

    I opened the window context when the application opens.

    Default window is below.

    Well, what I ended up doing was creating a case of event that will open the context menu of the first (and only the first) times a user will fly over a control on the façade - instead of open the context menu on the application startup. Given that the mouse is on a default context window control is avoided. Still a bit klunky in code, but it works. I'm not real happy with it, so if anyone has a more elegant solution.

    Here is a snippit of code on the block diagram.

    Hello liaqui,

    I guess that the Zuhl3156 has been asked is because by default Windows 7 Professional comes with the games are not installed. However, their installation is easy to achieve.

    Following instruction at the link above, find the box for games within Windows features, place a check mark in the box and click OK.
