Around 4 years ago, I never used the backup.&nbsp;I always thought it&#8217;s unnecessary and a time-consuming task. One day, I deleted some of my crucial files by mistake. I couldn&#8217;t restore them back from the Recycle bin. It was a permanent deletion using Shift + Del. All said that I should use backup to restore my lost files. But that was just impossible. I had no backup. Finally, I had to purchase a file recovery tool to restore my files back. Had I used the backup, I would have saved my money.&nbsp;On that day, I decided to take backup of my crucial data every single week.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sysinfotools.com\/demo-version\/SysInfoTools-Backup-Exec-BKF-Repair-Pro.exe\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"62\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.semnaitik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/download-free-demo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4273\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Importance of Backup<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unfortunately, if anything goes wrong with your computer, your data is still safe if you have the backup. A backup file can contain&nbsp;duplicate copies of your crucial information, and you can save it in a remote location. So if you face data loss situation due to any reason, you have 100% chances to restore your data back. You can take backup of almost everything, such as documents, photos, audio files, video files, emails, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If everything is fine, we don&#8217;t need a backup. The importance of backup is only understood when we face data loss situation. There are two common reasons for data loss: <strong>deletion<\/strong> and <strong>corruption<\/strong>. If you delete something using <strong>Shift<\/strong> <strong>+<\/strong> <strong>Del<\/strong>, it&#8217;ll cause permanent deletion. The data which is permanently deleted, can&#8217;t be restored until you have the backup file. Generally, I don&#8217;t recommend permanent deletion unless it&#8217;s extremely necessary. In a case of temporary deletion, you can restore your data&nbsp;from the Recycle bin. But there&#8217;s no way to restore your data if you permanently delete it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another common reason for data loss is corruption, an inevitable occurrence. In a computer system, corruption can take place due to various reasons. Some of the highly responsible reasons include hard disk crash, logical failure, virus infection, hardware failure, software malfunction, abruptly system shutdown, etc. These are some situations in which you can face data loss unexpectedly. So if you confront a data loss situation due to any reason, be it accidental deletion or corruption, you can restore files from backup.&nbsp;Further, in this post, we&#8217;ll learn how to take backup.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How to Take Backup?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4695 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.semnaitik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/how-to-take-backup.png\" alt=\"how to take backup\" width=\"145\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.semnaitik.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/how-to-take-backup.png 145w, https:\/\/wordpress.semnaitik.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/how-to-take-backup-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 145px) 100vw, 145px\" \/>Over the past few years, computer users have become smarter than before. Many of them have started taking regular backup of their crucial information. And that&#8217;s really great. But some users still don&#8217;t know how to back up their data, though they understand the importance of backup. In this post, I&#8217;ll help them learn how to take backup using Windows Backup tool. So if you&#8217;re a Windows user, taking a backup is no more a hassle now. It&#8217;s very easy to use the Windows backup tool, commonly known as <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/NTBackup\"><strong>NTBackup<\/strong><\/a><\/span> utility. It&#8217;s a built-in backup utility firstly introduced in Windows NT. And since 1997, it has been a part of all subsequent versions up to and including Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. In Windows Vista and later operating systems, it was replaced by <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Backup_and_Restore\">Windows Backup and Restore<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The NTBackup utility uses a proprietary backup file format (.BKF) to take backup.
