Once you intended to set up your computer, it’s sure that sooner or later you will have to deal with operations such as dividing the hard disk into partitions. After that, you should pay more attention to manage all the partitions. In the event that the original data on your hard disk is accidentally erased or overwritten, or becomes inaccessible because of a hard disk malfunction, what you can do? In a word, you would better know how to back up partition between your hard drives.

MS (Microsoft) Backup is a built-in backup program that comes with Windows which can help you to back up your partitions. Windows 95, 98, Me, XP, 2000, 2003 installation CDs all comes with an integral backup program, which many users are ignorant about as it isn’t included in the “typical” Windows installation. Here, we would like to discuss about it.

The Windows backup utility helps you create a copy of the information on your hard disk. In the event that the original data on your hard disk is accidentally erased or overwritten, or becomes inaccessible because of a hard disk malfunction, you can use the copy to restore your lost or damaged data. The Windows backup utility helps you protect data from accidental loss.

2. Click on the icon labeled 'Browse this CD'.

This backup utility in Windows is equipped with the basic functions needed to run backup of selected files and folders. But the program is lacking important features that are common in other backup applications. Whenever you need to perform more complicated tasks then the supported options are far from being enough and you need assistance from a better program.

The thing that you really need to remember when it comes to copy the partition during backup is that normally it also provides a partitioning tool. By using this you are able to create a similar partition and to copy over all the data. Disk Copy is one of such kind of software which is based on sector copy and can ease sector copy process. Just as software interface indicates, it will show you clearly of the partitions. Please see the picture bellow:

The hard disk and partition imaging software take a snapshot of your hard disk so that you can restore your system at a later time to the exact same state the system was when you imaged the disk or partition. This is useful for system recovery in case of a hard disk disaster. The term "image" is used because such software often copy the state of the hard disk sector by sector to your image. Hence if your hard disk was (say) defragmented with certain software occupying certain sectors when you backed up, it will be returned to that same state when you restore your backup. The image utilities often do not allow fine control what you backup - you can specify the partitions or hard disks to back up, but you usually will not be able to specify which folders to exclude or include. They are useful for backing up your system drive or partition, that is, the drive that you placed your operating system on. Hard disk imaging software are sometimes also used to clone a hard disk to another (useful for the times you change or upgrade your hard disk).

On the other hand, the hard disk, folder and files backup software listed here allow a finer control over what you back up. You can selectively backup and restore (say) your documents and email while omitting other files and directories. Some of the utilities allow you to schedule your backups, so that you can be sure that your important data are backed up periodically (for example, daily, weekly, monthly, etc). Depending on the utility, it may or may not support the backup of your system drive (the drive you booted from).

To make sure your vital data on your computer are safe and sound, you need a backup system, which includes:

A storage medium (CD, DVD, flash disk, tape, floppy disk, hard disk, networked computer, or the Internet)

Backup software
