how to backup

by gellani . Updated 15 years, 10 months ago

helloo there!
till two months ago i hade no concern with backing up my data since i got familiar with PC alot of years ago. but when i got my very precious data lost two months ago it was very painful. once i remember i crated backup of some of my files and put them in another drive on my pc. but after formatting my other drives including c: and reinstalling windows i opened that file which had backup of my files but it did say that there is no file in it. i don’t know what really happened. i am not sure how backup really works and what it really does. but now i have few question i hope somebody would give some time to them.
i really want to know when we create backup of our data what happens does it create the copy of original data or it creates the sketch or shadow of original data. and would the backup of original file would take the same amount of space?
and secondly i really want to know is there any way that i can create something like backup or copy of my whole Windows with everything installed on it including my all games and software’s and to put them on DVD or anywhere else. and after formatting my all drives i just run one setup which install every thing on my pc which i was running before formatting the drives. thankx.
