built in windows vista back up software

hello group, i have had my vista laptop for a year now, i desided to back up
some files not copy, but a back up of certain files. well i ran the built in
vista backup software, and it wanted to backup the whole of my C:\ drive, i
cant even choose what file i would like to back up, and i hear that NERO
wont install on vista, any idea's on how i can back up only the files i
want to backup, or a vista compatible backup/ burning software

thanks in advance

The 'complete pc backup' is only available on vista business or ultimate
versions. If you are running another version than those stated, you can
only backup files. Nero 8 will install on vista but I would use the built
in backup if it is available to you on your version. If you don't have
those versions, then I would use symantec ghost 12. It works and I have had
success with it.

Nero runs fine on Vista. Older versions of Nero, however, are
incompatible.

I think Acronis TrueImage is the best backup product currently
available.
