| 629680 | 2008-01-13 06:52:00 | Unless they have changed it, the problem with Windows Back up is it makes a file that cant be read normally. EG: if you simply want to read a certain file from your backup, you cant, you need to replace the whole backed up data. If you have the backups on cd/USB/ what ever and want to read them from another PC - forget it. I am doing the back up as a prelude to upgrading from w98se to w2000. Does this mean that Windows backup can't cope with the OS change? I have heard of WinBackup V1.86 from Uniblue Systems and wonder if anyone has tried it? |

| 629681 | 2008-01-13 07:07:00 | Thats Slightly different - why not simply just Copy / Paste the data you want across, photos' documents, email favorites etc, if using a USB Drive to that, then copy paste back into the new OS. You cant do programs no matter what backup you use, that only works if its going back into the same OS / Location, programs will need to be reinstalled. |

| 629682 | 2008-01-13 07:21:00 | I have used Syncback for a while, where you can have different profiles, and upload a backup to a server. I also use the free image back up program - DriveImage XML (www.runtime.org). I have also done a recent basic review for both these programs in my blog (http://pcsourcepoint.blogspot.com/) | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
