Trying to backup my complete system.

Post by grimreaper1014 »

Hello,

I am new to using Backup4All. I have the professional edition. Before using Backup4All Pro. I was just using the built in backup in Windows 7 x64. What I would like to do is make a complete backup of my C: drive to my D: drive that can be used to restore the computer back to its current state in case of a problem. What I am looking for is the equivalent of a full system backup in Windows backup. Could you please tell me how to go about doing this?

Thanks,
Rocky

Hi,

Backup4All was not designed for system backup, so you won't be able to restore the operating system.
You should use Backup4all for data files backup only.
We do not recommend to use Backup4all in order to backup system files / installed software.
We encourage users to use it only for their own work: files and folders.

Please consider a plug-in for Windows System State, and a plug-in for system image. I am sure the lack of these options could be a deal-breaker in many cases. They could be paid "Advanced Options". Thank you.
