How often should I create a system image? Backup files?
I have a windows 10 pro with the newest 1809 version. After some trouble with my PC I had no choice but to reset everything and in doing so lost everything. Now, starting all over; I want to make sure I don't repeat those same mistakes of not being prepared. I started up the backup file system using windows 10, the daily option and holding for a month. I believe its suppose to overwrite whatever is there afterwards. As far as the system image I wasn't sure if windows 10 provides that same kind of option or if it has to be done manually.
Is there an easy program that does all of this for you automatically or is windows 10 just fine? Is system restore the same as imaging? I'm really confused on how all this works. I just know I need to be prepared for next time and having something going automatically to keep me on track would be really helpful
