How to backup windows 7 machine?

[Michael0609]

Hey I just got a new laptop and was wondering how exactly do I backup the windows incase I need to format in the future, also how do I set up regular backups that will only backup what has changed? Thanks

The first two tuts should answer your question
The third will explain how to back up the Operating System, in case of corruption or other problems
Good Luck
