One of the easily unnoticed new Windows 7 add-ons is the improved Backup and Restore feature. In Windows Vista, the Backup and Restore feature allowed users to backup an image to their hard disk or their DVD-drive. One could only backup files to a network location.
This leaves the user with a problem. For many, it does not make sense to backup to a hard drive in which the operating system is installed. They may want to reformat and then restore the backup. And, if they choose to back up to DVD’s… they might get stuck with having to use a billion DVD’s to fit the backup.
Allowing users to backup images to network locations, Windows 7 enables users to more easily use the backup and restore feature.
Also, as pointed out by ZDNet’s Ed Bott, in Windows 7, a new “Let me choose” option has been added to allow users to set up their own backup system.
