Back-up and Restore in Windows OS

Back up

1. Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Backup and Restore.
2. Do one of the following:
• If you've never used Windows Backup before, or recently upgraded your version of Windows, select Set up backup, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
• If you've created a backup before, you can wait for your regularly scheduled backup to occur, or you can manually create a new backup by selecting Back up now.
• If you’ve created a backup before, but want to make a new, full backup rather than updating the old one, select Create new, full backup, and then follow the steps in the wizard.

Restore

2. Do one of the following:
• To restore your files, choose Restore my files.
