| 554173 | 2007-05-29 06:47:00 | If I use Microfoft Backup (W98SE) for backing up files of 650mb and then copying them onto CD can I restore everything back onto the hard drive after partitioning it? | Krad (7878) | ||
| 554174 | 2007-05-29 07:56:00 | Everything? No. MS Backup would backup data. If you just want the entire install reloaded as is, its better to image it with something like Ghost or Acronis. |

| 554176 | 2007-06-01 01:46:00 | In my experience MS Backup can also be rather unreliable when it comes to restoring stuff. Something like Cobian Backup (sourceforge.net) is probably a better bet. [edit: Note that cobian isn't an imaging program. If you want to image, repartition and restore then follow pctek's advice.] |
