1. What are the steps of a Windows computer bootup?

Similar to security on desktops.What can you backup? These days you can backup everything. File level backups. Files and folders. If anything happens, you can restore back to the state they wereSystem state backup. This is when storing operating system back to its state. Will be really important when have certain applications that are always reading and writing to a database. Maybe SQL server. This basically takes an image or snapshot of OSBare metal backup. If the computer were to die. 'Bare metal backup: Backs up operating system files and all data except user data on critical volumes. By definition a BMR backup includes a system state backup.' https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/dpm/back-up-system-state-and-bare-metal?view=sc-dpm-2019If we needed to backup os and files.Boot process is not particularly simple.
