For computer users, system files, which are stored in system partition, are very important. Once system files are lost or damaged, the computer perhaps fails to run. In this situation, many users will reinstall the operating system, which is able to solve the problem that the computer can not run normally. But the operation is troublesome because reinstallation will cause system files to be lost. Therefore, for the sake of convenience, we should back up files in system partition beforehand.
