Backup Windows 8 and restore it whenever you want with this friendly yet powerful application software the provides a GUI to the RecImg tool

RecImg Manager provides you with an application software created for the sole purpose of creating system backups and restore them when necessary. While it utilizes a Windows 8 component in order to function properly, this program really helps you achieve the same results in less time.

For starters, RecImg is a Windows 8 native application that helps you create a system image in order to refresh your PC at a later date. This specific process takes your system back to a previous state and also protects your sensible data or the apps that you deployed on your computer from the Windows Store, but not the Desktop ones.

This exact tool can really prove to be just the thing you are looking for and, because it is included in the Windows installation from the get-go. As stated by the ‘Refresh your PC’ screen, your files and personalization settings will not be changed, while your PC settings will be changed back to their defaults. Apps from Windows Store will be kept, while apps you installed from discs or websites will be removed and, finally, a list of removed apps will be saved on your desktop.

The operation of backup up your system is not particularly hard to accomplish; however, if you are a rookie in the business of working with command line programs, then this can just be more than you can manage. This is exactly why RecImg Manager was created. It delivers a very neat graphical user interface that makes use of the Microsoft tool and does it brilliantly.

The question that may arise right now is why would Microsoft not do it themselves? It clearly supplies a greater ease-of-use than the aforementioned application, even though it is based on it. The answer is totally useless as in many other cases where the Windows developer did not foresee or did not even care to look into the possibility of really helping the end user accomplish important tasks easier.

To sum it all up, RecImg Manager is not the perfect backup and restore solution as it only works with a certain Windows iteration, for now, at least. Also, relying on a Windows feature rather than on proprietary technologies can limit the spectrum of targeted users, as more advanced ones may never look into the prospect of software that only brings a GUI to an existing Microsoft tool.
