Ready for Windows 7?
Here’s how to make the transition
|

Be Prepared
No matter how good your precautions, operating system upgrades can go horribly wrong.
Some important program or file won't work in the new environment. Maybe you just
don't like the new interface. Whatever the reason, you need a way to go back to
where you were before.
Genie Backup Manager supports Disaster Recovery
that will offer an easy dependable way to recover your system in case of failure
during the upgrade since it restores your Windows, Program Files, Documents and
Settings and System State.
To create a DR Job:
- Install Genie Backup Manager
- Run Disaster Recovery Wizard
- Create DR Bootable Disc
- Create DR Job

Make the Move
You will want to keep a few of the applications and personal data, files and folders
to move to the new Operating System. This means creating a backup of all your data
to an external drive assuming you know where they are and where they should be restore
to.
Genie Backup Manager can help the migration
simple with a backup plan that includes protecting your applications, music files,
photos, emails and files. And what’s more important is that
Genie Backup Manager will; on its own, know where to restore all these files
to their new locations in Windows 7.

To create a comprehensive backup:
- Install Genie Backup Manager
- Run Backup Wizard
- Select Backup Location (preferably an external drive with sufficient space)
- Select your data from ‘My Profile’ ‘My Folders’ and ‘My
Plugins’
- Install Windows 7 and all your applications including
Genie Backup Manager
- Restore your backup
|
|
**Genie Backup Manager will:
- Restore your desktop, documents, playlists, application settings, and photos to
their locations all on its own even though their location has changed in Windows
7.
- Automatically create a new MS Outlook profile and restore your email, calendar and
settings without the need to reconfigure anything.
- Offer the user the option to restore files and folders to alternative locations
of the ‘My Folders’ drive letters have changed.
- Automatically restore Windows Mail (Vista) to Windows Live Mail and Windows Contacts.
