Windows backup greater flexibility
I just tried windows backup using a networked computer. Backup finished fine
however it did not backup any of the files that I desired it to. All of my music, documents and other important data is located on a different partition (formatted in FAT32, could this have been the cause?) and I could see no way to select these items. The option to select certain folders to backup would be useful as it would be easy to select the USERS folder or just any other data specific folders Windows backup may miss. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Windows backup greater flexibility
I believe you are correct in your thought that the FAT32 formating is the
issue. I think the new basic backup solution only backs up files on NTFS locations. I just posted a reply to someone else telling them how limiting I find this new backup solution. It might work well for some people for most of the people I know will find this new interface too limiting. I'm hoping that MSFT will introduce an ADVANCED option that would essentially be the old NTBackup utility. -Alex. "schale01" wrote: I just tried windows backup using a networked computer.
