Vista's Backup and Restore Center

Pretty much everyone knows that they should backup their data on a regular basis. One wrong power surge, a minor flood, or overly ambitious children can wreak havoc on your data. If you haven't taken the time to prepare for such disasters in advance, there is very little hope of recovering your precious files. There are a variety of backup utilities available, and Microsoft has included some type of backup and restore functionality in Windows for some time. With Windows Vista, however, Microsoft kicked it up a notch. Vista's Backup and Restore Center is more functional and more user friendly than previous Microsoft backup utilities. Take a walk through my Step-by-Step: Backup and Restore Data in Windows Vista to learn how to put this tool to use to protect your data.
