The centre is a predecessor of that first introduced when Windows Vista came on the market, and as such this centre is an even further improved and refined offering to previous ones.

When doing a Windows 7 backup, be aware that the duplicate or 'shadow copy' feature enables the restoration of earlier versions of files or folders.
