Project 13-4

Understanding the importance of making backups is essential to learning to support
Windows. Do the following to examine the power and limitations of backing up the system
state data:




1. Back up the Windows 2000/XP system state to a folder on your network or hard drive.
What is the path to your backup?

Well, no Windows 2000/XP here.  Just Windows 7 Professional.
E:\WindowsImageBackup

2. Make several changes to the Windows environment: Using the Display Properties
window, change the wallpaper background of the desktop, the screen resolution, and the
Windows Theme. What are these new settings?

Well, the Windows Activation ran out, so my background is black.  But I did change the resolution to 1280 X 768.


3. Using the Add or Remove Programs applet in Control Panel, remove and add a Windows
component. Which component did you remove? Which component did you add?


I removed Internet Explorer!



4. Reboot your system and verify your changes were all implemented.






5. Now restore the system state from the backup you made. Which of your changes were
undone and which (if any) were left untouched?
