Use backup software and recovery software to protect data

Nowadays, computer viruses are spreading widely and the phenomenon that software is not compatible with hardware occurs frequently, and computer halt and system crash often make us reinstall operating system. As known to all, when we reinstall operating systems, various kinds of drives are essential for installing all kinds of hardware because they decide whether the hardware operates normally or not. Although Windows operating system has been equipped with many famous hardware drives, it can not support all hardware. So every time when we reinstall the operating system, we have to cost a large amount of time on installing those drives and it is so troublesome. Is there any way to avoid these troubles? The answer is positive. We can back up those drives in advance. The mentioned backup is to extract drive information from Windows and back it up instead of backing up drive disk. Users who are very familiar with computer may consider this method unreliable because some unforeseen circumstances may make the drive backup lost and we still have to install drives when reinstalling operating system. Indeed, the method is not reliable if drive backup is lost and can not be recovered. However, when drive backup is lost, we can use data recovery software to recover the backup.
