"Regularly backing up your files is always a good idea, just in case any important or irreplaceable ones go missing. For that, you can turn to a variety of programs. But Windows itself has a built-in backup tool that's simple and flexible. The catch is that you probably don't even know it exists. Named simply Windows Backup, this feature lets you choose which folders and files to back up."
"The limitation here is that you can't save the system image on removable media. But you can always use the system image tool to do this separately. Further, you can save the backup to a recordable CD or DVD, an external hard drive, or a network location. You can also set the backup to run regularly. The tool works the same in Windows 10 and 11."
"This version of Windows Backup has since been deprecated by Microsoft, which means it's no longer supported or updated. As a result, you may encounter issues or errors when using the tool. In my experience, it generally works reliably. However, the last few times I tried using a network share as my backup destination, I received an error that the specified network location cannot be used."
Windows includes a built-in feature called Windows Backup that lets users select specific folders and files or back up all Windows folders. The tool can include a full system image for full Windows restoration, though system images cannot be saved to removable media via the tool. Backups can be saved to recordable CDs/DVDs, external hard drives, or network locations, and backups can be scheduled to run regularly. The tool functions in both Windows 10 and 11. Microsoft has deprecated Windows Backup, so it is unsupported and may produce occasional errors, particularly with network share destinations.
