backup

Is there a "real" backup program in 64-bit Vista Home Premium? One where I
can select the files and folders important to us?

All I can find on this HP computer is a simplistic backup that has me
checking boxes for things like "pictures" and "documents."

That won't do, as there are other folders with data that require backing up.

And, how would I do a disaster recovery backup?

Thx!

The HP support site would tell you all of this.

If you want to back up properly, go for a product like Acronis TrueImage..

Thanks. Already taked to HP. Said their program was "simple."

What I was trying to ask is, "Where is the MS backup program like we had for
XP?" That should not depend on the hardware manufacturer.

Thanks.

Pictures, music and documents is what most people want or need to backup
generally.

MS Backup is not the way to go either. You really do need to look at getting
a proper backup solution..

I agree, the Vista backup solution is poor. Here's a link to instructions
on how to install Windows XP NTbackup on Vista. It works, I've done it.
