Hello Brain,
Thank you very much for your instructions. Just two questions,
When you mention a system iamge, does this mean that if my computer breakd
down, the back up disk would install everything again?
When you talk about a scheduled back up, what does it mean?
Thanks again. Regards,
Teresa Arroyo

Hello Teresa,
In Windows 8 you can press the Windows key and type in SDCLT. When you hear
SDCLT.EXE announced press enter key. In the resulting window you can tab to
choices for creating a system repair disk and creating a system image. You
might want to create the system repair disk first and then create the system
image.
When you press enter on the "create a system image" link you will have
choices of saving to DVDS or to a hard drive. If you use a hard drive you
should have it attached before starting the image creation process so it
will be recognized as a possible destination. Choose where you want the
image saved and use the Next button. In the window that appears you will
have a Start Backup button that you can use to start The backup.
The initial window that has choices for creating a system image and a system
repair disk also has a link for setting up scheduled backups. Press enter
key on the link, pick where you want backups to go and then use the Next
button. In the resulting window choose the appropriate radio button for
either letting windows pick what to back up or choosing yourself what you
want backed up on a schedule. If you let Windows decide the backup will
consist of All users, default Windows folders and local files in libraries.
If you choose to let Windows decide then tab to the Next button and press
spacebar. In the following window you can use the change settings link to
make changes to the scheduled time for backups or save settings and start
the backup. If you choose to not let Windows decide what is backed up
then after selecting the appropriate radio button to make your own choices
for what is backed up tab to the Next button and use spacebar. You will
then be in a tree structure and can make your selections for what you want
backed up on a schedule. Using the Next button should take you to a window
where you can use a link to change the current scheduled times or save
settings and start backup.
You can also use File History in Windows 8 to set up a backup schedule. If
you use File History you can also choose to back up to a network place.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] computer backup
Hello,
Running Windows 8 and Jaws 15 Beta.
I think this subject has been discussed before, but I am not sure about it.
I am using a Dell Inspiron, don’t remeber the model, and I would like to,
ideally, backup the whole system. If this is not possible, at least I would
like to back up Windows 8. My computer came with it installed, but I didn’t
get a DDBD for the case it broke down.
Every now and then a window emerges with the message ‘dell backup and
recovery button’, but I don’t know what thi does and how it works. Could
some one please give me step-by-step instructions as how to back up either
the whole computer, or Windows 8 to a DVD disk?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Teresa Arroyo
