Vista says it's time to run a full backup -- but doesn't tell me H
I've been using File Backup daily for half a year on Vista 64-bit Ultimate.
The backup tool has been appending incrementals to the initial backup set which was created half a year ago. Now (finally) Vista prompts me to do a new full backup with this message in the system tray: "It's time to run a full backup. Click to start a new full backup." Now, when I click that message, it just opens the regular Backup application... but there's no visible "Create new full backup now" option anywhere?! So how on earth am I supposed to accomplish what Vista is prompting me to do? |

Did you install SP1? I got an "aborted" error and had to go into settings to
get a new full backup AFTER SP1. My old DVD was nowhere near full. "mch42" wrote in message ... I've been using File Backup daily for half a year on Vista 64-bit Ultimate.

Click on "Change settings".
You will have the option to adjust your current backup settings or start a new, full backup. "mch42" wrote in message ... I've been using File Backup daily for half a year on Vista 64-bit Ultimate.

This will show you how if needed. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/99...-computer.html Shawn -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*Vista x64 Forums*' (http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=2980) *Please post feedback to help others.* |

So far this is the only solution I've come across, i.e. you have to go
through the Change Settings wizard in order to make a new full backup. Not very intuitive to the end user, really, but at least it works.. -mch42 "Gary Mount" wrote: Click on "Change settings".

[..] Now (finally) Vista prompts me to do a new full backup with this message in the system tray: "It's time to run a full backup. Click to start a new full backup." If there is no option there, then you can just create a Complete PC Backup normally instead. This will show you how if needed. Nope, the Complete PC Backup is completely different from the File Backup, so creating a new Complete PC Backup is *not* the same thing as doing a new full File Backup, and it does *not* cause a new file set to be created on your file backup storage. Seems like the only way to get a new file set / full backup is do what Gary Mount suggested above, i.e go to Change Settings, go through the file backup wizard, and in the end check the "create full" checkbox.. -mch42 |
