Microsoft still recommends using Windows 7’s Backup and Recovery tool on Windows 11

Windows 11's updated support document recommends the use of Windows 7’s Backup and Restore tool for users whose needs are not fully met by newer solutions. This recommendation highlights that the Windows 7 tool allows for creating local backups, scheduling backups via the Control Panel, and restoring individual files or entire system images. It can back up the entire Windows 11 installation, applications, and personal files, which is a feature not available in the newer Windows Backup app. The Windows Backup app primarily focuses on backing up files and applications to OneDrive, but it cannot create a backup of the entire Windows 11 installation image to OneDrive. The Windows Backup app does allow backing up specific folders and retains user preferences, but it has limitations compared to the Windows 7 tool.
