System Recovery Discs and Data Backup Discs?

 

Data Backup Discs and System Recovery Discs are not same. Data Backup Discs are backup of your HDD files including personal information, media files and other files you want to store. But the system recovery disc is only containing system files, which will help you to recover your system to previous condition.

 

Now follow the steps to create a System Recovery Discs (System repair disc) at Windows 7:

1. Click on "Start" Button and go to "Control Panel"

2. Now Choose "Backup and Restore" option

3. Choose "Create a system repair disc" option from the top left side of the page

4. Entire a blank CD/DVD to your CD/DVD Drive and Continue working.

System Recovery Discs and Data Backup Discs?

There are huge difference between system recovery disk and data backup disk.

SYSTEM RECOVERY DISK

System recovery disk contains system information and system data for recovery in any trouble.

It contains system backup.

Whenever your system is in trouble, you can easily fix them using system recovery disk.

But you can't get back your personal data using system recovery disk.

DATA BACKUP DISK

Data backup disk contains all the data in disk saved as backup. It contains just data.

It can be used to recover data when you suddenly delete it. But you can't use it when your system is in trouble.

These are difference between system recovery disk and data backup disk.

None of these disks are less important that other.

System Recovery Discs and Data Backup Discs?

Hello Robin Roson,

System recovery discs and data backup discs are not the same thing.

There is a fundamental difference between them. 

Recovery disk is made by the manufacturer of the computer. It has the capability to restore your computer to the exact same condition it was in when it left the factory. On the other hand backup disk is made by the user. Backup disk can include certain files and folders or every thing on the computer.

How to make system recovery discs:

1. Click start and type “backup and recovery” in the search box and then press enter.

2. On the left pane of the “backup and restore” click “create a system recovery disc”

3. After selecting CD or DVD drive on the “create a system repair disc” box click “create disc”. When the process complete click ok.
