How to make a backup set full of files that you selected (in Windows 7)?

If I click on 'save now' in Windows 7 will do a backup full of selected files?

I've finally found out of backups scheduled in Windows 7 because I could never determine what was a 'set' as there are has no indicators.

So the question is: in the future, I just want to complete backups of all the files I've selected every time I want to (since I still find the options for others) to perform a full backup what I do in the backup and restore window?

I'm sorry to say this, but the function of backup on Windows 7 is one of the worst I've ever seen - taking control of the user for what type of backup, they are done but never explain what is contained in a 'set '.   "Windows periodically make a new backup set...". ', they say.  Really? When? Why do I see a game with 250 GB, a second 'package' with 35 GB and when I click on 'save now' the file was 197 GB?  What is contained in these 35 GB?  Incremental?  Differential?  The secret of the Dead Sea Scrolls?

I'm not the first user to this problem, that is why users will third-party backup programs.  But it amazes me that MS cannot go down this basic procedure and explain it to the user.

Backup programs work very well with the following options:

Ask the user if they want to (1) create a 'complete' backup of the selected data, (2) create a "premium" with the files changed, or (3) "incremental" with the added files.  Indicate what kind of file the user seeks to him once it was created.  Is it so difficult?  .  In an attempt to "dumb down" the process there desperately ready to confusion with the result that if you delete a 'set' to clear a space not sure what you are deleting - very dangerous.

If the user wants to simplify and give software MS control software HAS yet to tell them what a 'set' is and what it contains. (full/differential/differential)   Otherwise, you cannot delete all files or sets for fear of erase something essential.   And you won't find until you crushed.

Hello

Windows Backup allows you to make copies of data files for all people who use the computer. You can let Windows choose what to back up or you can select individual files, libraries, and drives that you want to save. By default, your backups are created on a regular basis. You can change the schedule and you can manually create a backup at any time. Once you have configured Windows backup, Windows keeps track of the files and folders that are new or modified and adds them to your backup.

  • How to make a backup of my Windows Vista?

    Hello.

    I think I have to need if I get a virus and you need to remove and install from the beginning.

    Thanks by

    Hello

    I think that it s a good idea to make a backup on your laptop.

    You have created the Toshiba recovery disks? When you bought a Toshiba laptop, you must create these disks. If you have a virus or something else with these discs, you can get the factory settings on your laptop.

    You can create discs with the Toshiba recovery disc creator and if you didn t again, you get the following message:

    > Important INFORMATION
    >
    > your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair

    > drive hard (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer"

    > Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer

    So create one and if you need, you can get factory settings with Windows, drivers and tools in minutes.

    If you want to make a backup of your laptop with all the software that was installed by you, you must use programs such as Acronis True Image backup.

  • How to make a backup copy of my Sansa Fuze 2 GB

    Hello! Can someone tell me how to make a backup copy of my Sansa Fuze 2 GB. I'm going to replace because the wheel is not working properly and I ask (the agent on the Technical Support) on all my music that I have on my MP3 and they tell me to make a copy, but whenever I downloaded on Windows Media Player, I can listen to, but as soon as I disconnect my MP3, I can't play anymore. Can someone help me please, I don't want to lose all my music. Or as a matter of fact again downloaded (too many site to visit again)

    You can manually copy your music from the device to the computer using Windows Explorer, often referred to as 'My Computer' or just 'computer' in different versions of Windows by drag-and-drop, or open the Windows Media Player and "copy of the device" after clicking on the tab sync.

    It is also possible to copy works by using an application like Media Monkey too.

    Many people confused if the Sansa was initially loaded using never WiMP, many are realizing that the application works in both directions.

    Remember, it is important to always have a backup of your music!  It will save you grief!
