Windows Backup einrichten

Unter Windows 7 ist es besonders einfach, ein brauchbares Backup ähnlich der Time Machine einzurichten.

1. Control Panel > Backup and Restore
2. Select “Backup Files” (for simple file backups) or “Backup Computer” (for whole system backup)
3. If you select “Backup Computer”, this is where the fun starts. Vista/Win7 will actually back up your entire computer to a VHD file. This is the same file format that is used in Microsoft Virtual Machine technologies. So, it is a complete, full clone of your machine at that point in time. You can use it to restore the entire box. In Windows 7, you can even MOUNT the VHD file as a physical drive.
