If you decide to use this method and have a lot of files to back up, be sure you have enough discs to finish the job. If you select writable disks as your backup media, make sure that they are writeable, which means that you can add, delete, or change content on them. You can only select local hard disks or writable media. Windows Backup will start, and the first thing you need to configure is your target media on which you want to place the backup. Press “Set up backup” if you wish to backup something. (if you really must know, you can also use %systemroot%system32control.exe /name Microsoft.BackupAndRestoreCenter to do the same thing…) You can also run the following command from the Run or search box option: You can also type “backup” on the Start Menu search box, and again, one of the results will lead you to it. You can access it by going to the Control Panel and typing “backup” in the search box. In Window 7 (beta phase, build 7000), the Backup Status and Configuration tool is replaced by a tool called “Backup and Restore”. In Windows 7 this has changed, and it seems that there’s a good chance that we’ll finally get a good and working tool this time. Perhaps try installing Windows XP Ntbackup on Windows Vista. Note: That is why more advanced users might want to consider using a different and more customizable backup software. Read my article on backup status and configuration in Vista for more on that issue. Instead, the Backup Status and Configuration tool will only allow us to select what GENERAL file type we want to backup, not its location. However, it seems Vista’s designers have made every effort possible to make the backup tool as un-configurable as possible even preventing us from choosing exactly which file or folder we want to backup. In Windows Vista, the Backup Status and Configuration tool was the place where one could (or at least try to) backup pictures, music, media and documents on their Vista computer.
