Expert Backup interface?
How do you get to the File and Folder Backup Wiazrd they talk about in HELP
"Mark D. VandenBerg" wrote: You can probably use the "File and Folder Backup Wizard" to back up the contents of any additional drive you may have in your computer. -- Mark "George Geczy" wrote in message ... A bit late in this response, but I had the same question myself and only found your post (no actual answer). So until someone has a better answer, here is what I found: The Vista 'backup' in Accessories/System Tools doesn't seem to be a direct relation to the old Win2000/XP backup... the new one is a program called 'sdclt.exe', the old one is called 'ntbackup.exe', and ntbackup (or a direct equivalent) no longer appears to be provided with Vista. So unless there is a separate utility, or a way to start the new one in 'advanced mode' that isn't clear, there isn't a direct replacement. Which is odd, since not only are options such as 'only system state' not available, but you don't have a choice to do backups by directory or subdirectory; only drive and a vague 'file type' (ie 'pictures') selection. As well, it seems to always force you to backup the 'drive containing the operating system', which means if you want to backup a secondary hard drive you have to backup your system drive too. Very unusual.
