Anyone still running Windows 7?
in Software ·
So, if I’m getting this right, creating a backup basically just means taking everything on my C: drive and dumping it onto my D: drive. If some nasty virus decides to wreck my system, I can just use that backup to roll everything back to how it was before the chaos. My laptop came with a 64-bit version pre-installed, but I ended up with this Windows 7 recovery disc that’s actually 32-bit. Hypothetically, if things go south
and I try to run that installation disc, what happens then?
Also, could someone walk me through the actual process—how do I turn that backup image into an actual working system?
And one more thing: does a System Restore point have anything to do with what we're talking about here, or am I totally off base?

Alright, I’ll just come out and say it—I actually have no clue what a backup even is.
It wouldn't be such a disaster if Windows 7 wasn't acting on its own whims by deciding
to run some sort of backup once a week (or whenever it feels like it) and dumping an image file (or whatever you call it) onto my D: drive. It's already piled up about 20 or 30 gigs of this stuff.
Can someone please explain this to me in plain English? What exactly is a backup, does my computer need to be doing this once a week or more often, and what am I even supposed to do with all these files?
😕😕😕
