Guide | How To Backup your system with Windows 8.1 built-in backup tool

[Moose]

Seem like that you must do a backup 3 ways,

> AX64 Time Machine http://ax64.com
> Some 3rd party software with linux http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx
> And an external drive and/or USB

to make sure that you can restore the image if needed. Is this true?
If not the backup maybe corrupt or sectors missing.

maybe some sectors are corrupted , so it is why it can't backup

Spoiler: CMD Result of Bad Sector

@BoraMurdar Now in Control Panel there is not such option name Windows 7 File Recovery.

That method really worked, Just followed the steps 4 - 9 & it worked.
