  2. Data Backup

    RAID is so often misunderstood. It offers only the following:

    1./ Faster disk system, and/or
    2./ Additional "redundant" HDDs, so if one HDD fails, a copy of the data is still there. The RAID system automatically recovers.

    As Dan said, that is a live copy, NOT BACKUP. If you delete or overwrite a file it's GONE! If the server catches fire, has a brown out, or is stolen, the data is GONE!

    You need a physically seperate backup system.

    The simplest system is a NAS (basically a cut down server that only does filesharing). You then run a backup overnight when the network isnt busy.

    Alternatively, use a USB or Firewire 1TB HDD and connect it to the server and run a backup of key folders.

    **NOTE**
    Do read up on good backup practice. It is a good idea to use grandfathering techniques, and for most people, NOT to backup every night, but once or week. Reason: your *new* backup overwrites an old backup. But only after the backup, you realise you need to recover from the old backup. Data lost, unless you grandfather.

    It is more likely that a user error will mean that you need to go back to the archive to recover files, than due to hardware failure. Therefore, plan your backup strategy accordingly.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  4. Fails to delete windows 10 Data file backup

    Windows 10 C://system recovery/Repair/Backup files - can I delete them

    Hi Mike,

    The files that you found in C://System Recovery/Repair/Backup were backup of your data files or system images created in the past. You can safely delete them by running disk cleanup or by manually deleting them.

    To remove the files using disk cleanup, please see
    Disk cleanup in Windows 10.

    To manually remove the files, follow these steps:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Under System and Security, click Backup and Restore (Windows 7).
    • Click Manage space to open Manage Windows Backup disk space page.
    • Under Data file backup, click View backups to view all Data File backups.
    • Delete the backups you do not need.
    • On the Manage Windows Backup disk space page, under System image, click
      Change settings.
    • You'll then find the following options:

    • Let Windows manage the space used for backup history
    • Keep only the latest system image and minimize space used by backup.

    8. Select the second option. This will delete your earlier system images and keep only the latest ones.

    9. Click OK.

    Let us know if you need further information.

    Regards.
