Data backup policy of Vista system in unconventional state

Author: Zhongguancun online Zhang Qi

Once upon a time, the NTFS partition format made Ghost a little helpless, but the latest Ghost already supports NTFS partitions, but in Windows Vista, it is very troublesome to back up and restore the system only by using the Vista installation disc or the Ghost tool of the optical disk. We will discuss different Vista system backup and restoration technologies to open up more System Security ideas.

1. Vista clone

Back up data

A System Backup Tool Windows Complete PC is provided in Vista to easily back up the system.

First, go to "maintenance"> "Backup and Restore Center" in the system tool and open "Windows Complete PC ".

In the backup window, click "backup computer", select "on hard disk", and select the partition with the largest available space. This partition will be used to save the backup file, system partitions must be backed up by default. After the backup is complete, a "WindowsImageBackup" folder is generated under the specified partition, which contains the backup file of the Vista system.

However, the Vista system backup file using the "Windows Complete PC" tool is very large (who makes Vista so big). If you want to reduce the space occupied by it, you can use the special "compress disk space" function of NTFS partition. After all, this file is not often called.

Restore data

If you use the "Windows Complete PC restoration" function on the Vista installation disc every time, it is very inconvenient. We can extract the "Windows RE System Repair" tool, and install it in the hard disk for restoration.

Copy the boot. sdi file in the boot folder on the CD and the boot. wim file in the Source folder to the root directory of drive D.

Create a new text and enter the following content:

@ Echo off

REM
REM
REM
Set RAMDISK_OPTIONS =

REM
REM, GUID for the WinPE boot entry
REM

Set WINPE_GUID =

REM
REM Set Timeout
REM

Bcdedit.exe-timeout 5

REM
REM Create Ramdisk device options for the boot. sdi file
REM
Bcdedit.exe-create % RAMDISK_OPTIONS %-d "Ramdisk Device Options"-device
Bcdedit.exe-set % RAMDISK_OPTIONS % ramdisksdidevice partition = D:
Bcdedit.exe-set % RAMDISK_OPTIONS % ramdisksdipath oot. sdi

REM
REM Create WinRE boot entry
REM

Bcdedit.exe-create % WINPE_GUID %-d "System Repair"-application OSLOADER
Bcdedit.exe-set % WINPE_GUID % device ramdisk = [D:] winre. wim, % RAMDISK_OPTIONS %
Bcdedit.exe-set % WINPE_GUID % path windowssystem32ootwinload.exe
Bcdedit.exe-set % WINPE_GUID % osdevice ramdisk = [D:] winre. wim, % RAMDISK_OPTIONS %
Bcdedit.exe-set % WINPE_GUID % systemroot windows
Bcdedit.exe-set % WINPE_GUID % detecthal yes
Bcdedit.exe-set % WINPE_GUID % nx optin
Bcdedit.exe-set % WINPE_GUID % winpe yes

Bcdedit.exe-displayorder % WINPE_GUID %/addlast
Pause

Save it to "D: fix. cmd ". Then run as administrator.

Restart the computer, and a fix option will be displayed in the boot menu. Select to enter the Vista installation interface. Click the "repair computer" option, click the "Windows Complete PC restore" option in the window, and select the previous Vista backup to restore the system according to the wizard prompt.

Ii. WinPE calls Ghost

Vista WinPE Plus! Windows XP is a mini version. It integrates the Ghost 11.0 program and can be directly started from the hard disk after installation. You can back up and restore the Ghost of Windows Vista without using any external devices, easy to use.

Use the virtual optical drive program to read the WinPE_Plus.iso image file. Disable UAC of Vista, and then run the "Install WINPE. CMD" file to open a command prompt window, enter "UAC" at the cursor as prompted, and press Enter.

"Winpe plus!" is displayed when the OS selection screen is displayed !" Start option, select it to enter the mini Windows XP system. Run "CHOST32.EXE" on the desktop to open Ghost11, so that the backup can be restored.

Note: If you are using Windows XP and ipvwv Vista, you must install them on Windows XP. Use the virtual optical drive program to read the "WinPE_Plus.iso" file and double-click the "Install WINPE. CMD" file to automatically complete the installation.

By using these methods, we can get rid of the limitations of the CD, which is flexible and flexible for system backup. This not only improves the backup speed, but also ensures data security.
