vista backup "Louis C. Lupin III" <llupin[ at ]hotmail.com> 6/21/2007 11:51:13 PM I generally like Vista and Live Onecare but I hate the Vista backup. I would like to selectively back up specific folders and files. I've had to resort to an open source backup. Does anyone know if Microsoft intends on releasing a decent backup utility for Vista?

For backup I prefer to use Synctoy as well and as a beta tester of OneCare I adviced the developers to have a serious look at that. But if you don't use the backup function of OneCare, the button in the taskbar stays amber. How do you cope with that?

Good news is after about 10 minutes or so of turning it on the backup backed up automatically. -- John the West Ham fan housetrained[ at ]hotmail.com <><
