From: Leonard Grey on 8 Apr 2010 12:08 Did it really not occur to you that the software and hardware available for backing up...or burning DVDs or editing video or handling compressed files or searching...might have advanced over the last 8 years? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Ol�rin wrote: > Which would have been a slightly more comprehensive answer to have given in > the first place. > > "Leonard Grey" <l.grey(a)invalid.invalid> wrote in message > news:u5V1ICz1KHA.140(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> The "nature of taking back-ups" has not changed...the software and >> hardware available to do so has changed dramatically, and for the better. >> --- >> Leonard Grey >> Errare humanum est >> >> Ol�rin wrote: >>> "Leonard Grey" <l.grey(a)invalid.invalid> wrote in message >>> news:eBiyhFg0KHA.4548(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >>>> Why are you using a backup program from 2002? >>> Has the nature of taking back-ups of files changed so substantially since >>> then?

From: Craig S on 8 Apr 2010 20:45 Look into some Imaging Apps. I use Macrium Reflect Free each Friday and save to an External Disk Drive just bought. (http://www.macrium.com/ReflectFree.asp)............. I still do System State backups BUT added Imaging as ALL methods have had posts about them claiming "their"Backup/Image didn't work. Safety in numbers! The $40 Macrium paid Ver gives a WinPE Repair CD and does much more than Image the entire C: Drive, which is what I use Free for.. Acronis is more known but hopefully some searching will provide a suitable choice.

From: Ol�rin on 9 Apr 2010 04:00 What occurred to me and what may have occurred to the OP probably differ greatly. I refer you to my comment about a slightly more comprehensive inital response. And who's talking about editing videos, handling compressed files and searching anyway?

"And who's talking about editing videos, handling compressed files and searching anyway?" Windows XP has utilities for those functions, just as it has a backup utility. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Ol�rin wrote: > What occurred to me and what may have occurred to the OP probably differ > greatly.
