Windows 7/8/10 includes native software and tools for File and System based backups.
Interfacing with these tools can be daunting for the uninitiated.

I created a Windows Native Backups Video Series to both educate myself and help others.
Having access to this information is priceless when faced with a non bootable system.

This Video covers Windows 8 Native Backups
Windows 7 and Windows 10 backups are covered in separate videos.

The process of creating these videos took much longer than I thought as the scope expanded the more I learned.
They quickly became very verbose and there is certainly repeated information.
Most people appear to appreciate good explanations and detail.

For those that complain about the length or detail, you can always fast forward, choose to appreciate detail or simply find another source.

I love positive helpful criticism as it helps me to help others.
Trolls and unhelpful comments, although very entertaining will most often be ignored and left to starve.
