It can help you backup all versions of Windows 7 to network drive without effort. The following are its outstanding features. Various Backup Solutions. It helps you backup anything you concerned, including the system, disks, partitions, folders, and files.
Different Backup Modes. The last two options can save your backup disk space and backup time. Schedule Backup. Backup to Different Destinations. Besides that, you can also choose to backup to your external disk, USB flash drive or cloud drive. Its interface is user-friendly and the timely notification will guide to complete the backup in minutes. Secure Download. As mentioned earlier, this software supports backing up all versions of Windows 7 computers to network drive.
Take Windows 7 Professional as an example to show all steps. You can use it as a reference no matter what version you are currently using. Without further ado, let's get started. Step 1. Note: This feature not only makes an exact copy of your files, but also allows you to see these files when there is a network connection.
Is it likely that this decision will be changed by MS. If I have to find an aftermarket backup utility for W7 I will but I'd rather not. Tuesday, October 27, PM. Wednesday, October 28, AM. Unlikely to change in the near future, if you like that feature I'd look for a program that can.
You could also do an Anytime Upgrade to Professional. I too just found this out and I find it appalling. I had this capability in Vista, and just lost it when I paid for and applied the "upgrade" to Windows 7.
That will teach me not to upgrade a Microsoft product without carefully reading the fine print. I am amazed that the response is a choice of 1 buy a product from someone else, or 2 pay even more money to Microsoft. I will probably avoid being an early adopter in the future.
This is not helping me maintain my goodwill towards Microsoft. Maybe the Apple advertisement campaign could use this. The isn't even the remotest glint of a possibility that the 'decision' would be changed. The feature set of the various 'versions' of Windows 7 have been cast in concrete since the 'Release Candidate' build, final code has been out for quite a number of months, and the product is now in general availability distribution.
Changing the 'feature set' now is an impossibility. The time for that has long ago passed, I'm afraid. You will definitely need to source a third-party backup tool in order to have the capability of backup to network storage, or else purchase an 'upgrade' to a Windows 7 version which includes the capability. I was told to upgrade to the Home Premium version by the store clerk where I purchased the upgrade. Following their direction, I paid for the upgrade, installed it, and then find that this hugely important feature no longer exists.
I paid for an upgrade to a version of Windows that essentially does nothing great, as far as I'm concerned, and it removed an essential feature I used to have in Vista. Reviewing the chart that indicates the difference between the versions did not specifically identify that network locations would no longer be an option for backups in the Home Premium. The chart I'm referring to is not the one outlined in this thread.
The link here actually does articulate that it's not available. The one I was directed to did NOT point this out. In other Windows releases we would see a drastic change to the OS. All I see are 'tweaks' that, in my opinion, should have been offered as FREE upgrades to improve the quality of Windows, thus keeping their clients wanting to continue using it.
I have always been a hardcore Windows supporter. This recent upgrade was enough of a disappointment for me to make me want to switch to a Mac. I am very upset that I had to pay for this upgrade, which again does not offer anything exciting or improved, and removed an essential feature for me. Saturday, November 14, PM. Big disappointment for me as well, not being able to backup to my network drive with Home Premium Edition. That coupled with the lack of an imbedded email program. I feel like I was better of staying with Vista Home.
All my bases were at least covered there. Will probably go back to it given the situation with Win 7 and just chalk this experience up as a loss moneywise. Refuse to pay any more for the options and don't feel I should have to. Highly doubt I'll go into the next Microsoft Op system so willingly. Sunday, November 15, AM. Hello, I just "bought" small fee the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 Premium for a laptop. Unfortunately I just found out like all the people here that Premium doesn't support network backup I think that it would have made the user-experience for my family nicer as I don't the secure zone, I know that you say it isn't possible to change this, but can't you just push an update?
I suppose it is possible, but you considered it a "professional" option. On the other side, premium can backup to Windows Home Server apparently?
However, I don't want Windows Home Server Kind regards, Michel. Monday, November 23, PM. My Mac has had Time Machine, and automatic, hourly-incremental network backup in it. For free. For over an year. I've just bought my last PC. Thursday, November 26, AM.
Last Windows OS Agreed! I'm already scoping out a MAC. Friday, December 4, AM. Sunday, December 6, PM. Thursday, December 10, PM. As with any server one of the main points of a home user within a home network is the ability to backup.
If you have a home network how do you safeguard family PC data? Hardware can fail and things can go wrong. Maybe Microsoft should consider allowing at least a home network backup.
Sunday, December 13, PM. That was quite a RANT. Reasonable enough right? With Vista Home Premium and OneCare I had a passable solution to the care and feeding of a 3 Vista computers on my home network - including full and incremental backups to a external HD on my network. No they were not images and I could retrieve a sigle file if needed. What does MS do? Mac revenue market share in the "premium" price segment was 91 percent, up from 88 percent in May.
Monday, December 14, AM. MS is constantly taking hits for the things other vendors do, like late or non-existant drivers and that sort of thing, but it just becomes so easy to blame MS.
I've even heard it stated that if the vendor doesn't come through with upgraded drivers, the onus is on MS to bridge the gap. Sort of funny, my daughter tried to get a new wirelss service recently but her OS was one step too old. Her option? Meanwhile, the same vendors wireless service offering had compatibility back to Win98 with readilly available drivers. OK, so you say the Mac upgrades are cheap enough, why not just move up to the latest and be done with it? Seems upgrading would render her printer drivers incompatible, and she'd have to get a new printer because the printer vendor chose not to write drivers for the new release.
So, have wireless internet meaning have internet access , or keep the printer. In the Mac world this becomes a simple case of blaming the printer manufacturer for not supporting the new OS, but for PC people it's MS's fault for making the OS incompatible with older drivers, the manufacture for planned obsolescence, AND MS for not rewriting the driver FOR the printer manufacturer in order to make the user's experience seamless.
In other words, Apple makes a superior product, and MS is acting in colluosion with 3rd party vendors in order to enhance everyone's cash flow at the expense of their customers. But the real gotcha is the stuff that no one would even consider not working perfectly is the stuff that'll bite you, case s in point my daughter's ongoing issues.
The other killer for me is all of the liars ads Apple produced making light of the UAC in Vista, guess what pops up on my daughter's and son in law's machines? The Mac version of a UAC. When asked about it the reply is it only makes sense to warn the user that their actions could have consequences. When asked why millions were spent airing ads making fun of a UAC when their machines sported the direct equivalent, well, I guess they are still playing the game that their machines require no special inteligence to operate, ergo their users are stupid enough not to know the difference?
Seriously, I wish the Mac community all the best. I wish Apple would gain as much market share as it possibly can, and I hope their users aren't too disappointed when they come to realize that all of the ads are suspect, that Macs get viruses and malware too and that will only increase with market share as we all know , and that the simplest stuff is where most of the "works better every time" advertizing is most solidly providing the highest levels of disinformation.
Make the move. Join the club. Enjoy a life completely free of computer related hiccups and "gotchas". And when all of them come home to roost, when everything is not magically perfect due to superior coding at the hands of the masters at Apple, well the upshot is at least your aren't stuck having to deal with MS anymore. Never mind you'll still have issues, it just won't be MS anymore. You'll just be helping Al gore and the team of liars that run the advertizing department at your new computer home.
I wasn't buying Apples line of excrement, but being a good father, I'm most certainly paying the price. But thanks for trying to turn it into something it's not. Tuesday, December 15, PM. Wednesday, December 16, AM. Dear Mr. Li: As I read this forum, I am stunned. Even my most basic Win95 machine could connect to a network drive. So, here's MY solution: Everybody, do what I did: go to one of your geek friends. Ask them for Linux. It connects to everything and works on just about every machine out there including your phone s!
It detected all my hardware correctly. It shrank the Windows partition on my hard drive and installed in only an hour and a half!! Any time I can't do something or wonder about some capability, I simply do one click and install the software. My machine never crashes, doesn't get viruses, I don't pay for any upgrades ever and I have all the software I want.
Also, I'm still left with a choice to boot Windows as well. Make the switch like I did. You won't look back. Wednesday, December 16, PM. Thanks for the input Now I have had to invest in a Win Home Server As you know "Sneaker Netting" laptops to an external HD for backups is not a reliable solution as it requires human intervention.
The human would probably be me. The cost was about a wash to the PRO "anytime" upgrade for 3 computers - which I think would have also worked. Reviews on the Home Server have been very positive. So far I have seen nothing in W7 that is any noticeable improvement over Vista. It may all be below the surface. Thursday, December 17, AM. That's not true. Changes and implementations are always made to operating systems as public demand grows and glitches are found. These changes are normally made available thru Service Packs, updates and patches.
If Microsoft finds that there is enough demand and need for these changes to be implemented and integrated in the Os, I am sure they will come up with an upgrade. Also notice you can select the option to create an image of your local drive. Save the backup settings and kick off your first backup and while it runs you can monitor the progress. When the backup is complete you will see the two backup files and image folder if you created one.
I backed up 20GB of data and it took around 15 minutes including the system image which came to 11GB. If you need to go back and restore a file from a backup click on Restore my files in the Backup and Restore Center.
Next you can restore them back to the original location or choose a different spot then click Restore. Sometimes you may need to recover some disk space and Windows 7 allows you to manage the size of your backups.
In the Backup and Restore section click on the Manage Space link. Click on the View backups button to check the different dated backups where you can delete older ones if needed.
Backing up data is one of the most important but overlooked tasks for a computer user. If you have another backup app you might not consider letting Windows do it, but overall, the new backup and restore utility in Windows 7 is much better than previous versions.
