About Vista full PC Backup tool

As you all know, there is a backup tool in all previous versions of the Windows operating system that allows you to back up all the files on your hard disk. There is also one such tool in Windows Vista. But slightly different, in addition to the standard backup tools, Windows Vista also includes a disk mirroring tool called "Full PC Backup".

This tool can create an image file containing the structure and contents of the hard disk file. If you've used Northon ghost or Acronis True Image, it's easy to understand what kind of software Vista's full PC Backup tool is.

It is important to note that the backup type created by the full PC Backup tool cannot be used to recover a single file-only the entire disk content can be recovered. For this reason, Microsoft recommends that even if you use a full PC backup backup, you still need to use standard backup tools in your daily operations. Another point to note is that the full PC Backup and Recovery tool is not included in Windows Vista Home Basic or the Windows Vista Home Premium version.
