Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore

System Restore warning

A complete restore is ideal for disaster recovery.

Available in Windows Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions, Complete PC Backup and Restore is a comprehensive, image-based backup tool to help you out of a tight spot if you need to recover your entire system.

While file restore is useful in cases of file loss and data corruption, Windows Complete PC Restore is most useful for disaster recovery when your PC malfunctions. Complete PC Backup and Restore is capable of restoring your entire PC environment, including the operating system, installed programs, user settings, and data files.

You can restore your PC back to its original state, or to a replacement PC. Complete PC Restore can be initiated from within Windows Vista, or from the Windows Vista installation CD in the event the PC is so corrupt that it cannot start up normally from the hard disk.



Some product features are only available in certain editions of Windows Vista and may require advanced or additional hardware.
