Win8.1 system backup and configuration recovery imaging techniques

One, the Win8.1 system for hot backup

1. Create a custom mirror from the command line tool (Recimg.exe), get the best state of the computer, and create a custom mirror;

2. Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and enter the following:

mkdir D:refreshimage

Recimg/createimage D:refreshimage

(/createimage-Captures the new custom recovery image in the specified location and sets it to the active recovery image)

3. After performing the above, a customrefresh.wim file will be created in the D:refreshimage directory, which is the backup of our system and is set as the active recovery image by the system. We will be able to restore the computer through this backup file later.

4. We can use the Reagentc/info command to view the system Windows RE status and restore image configuration.

The 5.recimg.exe command-line tool allows you to configure a custom recovery image for Windows to use when restoring your computer. When you create a custom recovery image, it will contain desktop applications that have already been installed, as well as Windows system files that are in the current state. The recovery image does not contain your documents, personal settings, user profiles, or applications from the Windows application store, because this information is retained when you restore your computer.

6. When you create a custom recovery image, Recimg stores it in the specified directory and sets it as the active recovery image. If you set a custom recovery image as an active recovery image, Windows will use it when you restore your computer. You can use the/setcurrent and/deregister options to choose which recovery image windows will use. All recovery images have file name Customrefresh.wim.
