Thank you for a great tutorial Ian and i hope members running Windows 7 will follow your clear and precise tutorial and make there backup today.

The Win7 backup software is great, but it keeps popping up in the action center which annoys me

Do you not want to turn off messages for Windows Backup?

Ahh, didn't know this was possible. Found it in action center. Cheers!

can i save a certain backups and rename them, just in case i need to go back to them at some point.

If i back up to a hard drive is this soely used for backup or can i use it for something else

If you back up to a hard drive or DVD's, you can only use the program as a backup. You can't use it for something else, such as installing it on another computer. This is not a reinstall disc like the Dell XP Pro ones are. If your OS is OEM, the OS lives and dies with the computer.
