Title: Module 8 - Windows Backup and Recovery
Course: CTS 2306 Windows Professional > Section: Module 8 - Windows Backup and Recovery

Introduction

All computers rely on secondary storage devices such as hard or solid state drives that can fail at any time and usually without warning. This places data and operating systems stored on these devices in peril and steps must be taken to ensure that no data is lost. Windows backup and restore procedures vary with the types of backup media but general settings such as when or what to backup are usually the same. A proper backup methodology is critical to the restore process and it can result in success or failure with a potential of data loss. In this module you learn how to configure backup schedules and restore Windows functionality using recovery options.
