You’ve undoubtedly heard it a million times (probably some 900,000 of which came from us): Back up your data! And that’s advice you should absolutely follow. But simple backups aren’t always enough for a Windows 7 system. You might be hit with a catastrophic virus attack, accidentally delete a critical system file, or mess with the wrong hard drive partition and find that your PC will no longer boot. At that point, no number of external hard drives loaded with copies of your photo and MP3 collections will get you up and running again.

That’s why, in addition to backing up individual files and folders of particular value, you should also stock your arsenal with more powerful system recovery weapons. You can buy software that will take care of this for you—Norton Ghost is a classic, powerful product—but Windows 7 has some built-in utilities that will provide an additional layer of security and not cost you one penny more. You’ll need a bit of time, some free drive space (or blank DVDs), but the peace of mind you get in return will be well worth that investment.
