    Uhm, okay, I ran 2 backups, but I'm not sure how to restore the files or what was backed up in the first place. When I click on my OS does it back up everything that's on the drive? Like my Libraries and my OS files?

    How long did the backup take?
    You can see everything in the backup by going where you put it and opening it.

    You can restore it by opening the Discwizard and clicking "restore."

    If you have no need to restore at this time, why do it?

    I ran backups at least 10x the speed of Windows Backup and Restore, so the speed helped, for like 40 minutes to an hour I think, or even shorter.

    Great!!
    I'm sure this program will help you.
    I name my backups "Discwizard windows 7 (date) to make it easy to find, but you can name it anything you like.

    Here are some pics to show you how to see what is in the backup.

    It's good you have a solution. But I would also take a look at the free Macrium Reflect which is independent of the HDD manufacturer.
