| 873370 | 2010-04-05 21:33:00 | Got my Eee/pc Asus and it has Win/7 . I thought I might hate it, but frankly 7 is kinda cool . It wants to do a back-up and since it has no optical trays, I just got a 4-gig usb stick . It barfs at trying to put the backups on that small usb stick - but here's what I want to do . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I don't want it to back up my MP3 or WMA files . I have them on a file sharing setup with my desktop units and why do I need to back up things that exist on my main units anyway? Is there a setting that I can use to make it skip these files/folders at backup time? |

| 873372 | 2010-04-05 22:28:00 | There are 2 main options you can choose from when you set up the backup - either let windows choose what to backup, or you choose what to backup. If you go into the backup app, you can change what is being backed up. | Greven (91) | ||
| 873373 | 2010-04-05 23:01:00 | If you upgrade to Win7 Pro, Enterprise or Ultimate then you can backup across the network automatically (Through wireless for example). Then, it won't matter what you backup ;) |

| 873374 | 2010-04-06 01:15:00 | Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. then if I upgrade to Pro, does it carry a larger footprint in my Eee/PC? As it is, I think 7/Starter is pretty light and doesn't hog all the RAM and processor. |

| 873378 | 2010-04-06 04:57:00 | Nope, doesn't specifically use additional resources. There's just limitations around "Starter" such as you only being able to run 3 applications at once. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
