Minimal backup for Windows 7 system recovery [migrated]
- by JIm
There might not be an answer to this, but for a home Win7 system, what files/directories must be backed up to recover after a windows crash? I can reinstall software, and I keep data files elsewhere. When I use acronis home backup software to backup my "critical" files it seems to choose the entire partition. Updates are mostly browser cache files and the like.
Or, after a crash, should I just reinstall windows. I dread the hours of windows updates that would require.
Thanks.
