Explanation:
Scheduling Backups with the Backup And Restore Console
Windows 7 Backup uses shadow copies to take a snapshot of your files, allowing the backup to
completely back up files even if they are open. Backups are configured and scheduled by using the
Backup And Restore console under System And Security in Control Panel. You can select the
following types of backup destination:
An external hard drive
External hard drives are more expensive to purchase than internal hard drives, although you need to
balance this against the cost of fitting the internal drive. They can be removed and stored in a secure

location. However, they are typically slower than internal hard drives and tend to be less reliable,
mainly because they are by default formatted using FAT rather than NTFS. You cannot use an
external hard drive for a System Image backup unless you convert its filing system to NTFS. Because
it is easily removable, it is more likely that an external hard drive will be missing when a scheduled
backup is required.
