Doing an "XP Like" Backup
Using Backup in Vista RTM it does not seem possible to configure a backup job
similar to that I used in XP, Full Backup, with nightly Incremental. In addition, it will lot let me pick what I want to backup, which is My Docuements on my main and several other systems on my network. The Vista backup seems to make a bunch of assumptions that are not necessarily what I want.

Doing an "XP Like" Backup
You can get part of the way there. Vista Automatic File Backup will let you
pcik from classes of files to backup on specific devices. It will also allow you to schedule the backup job (and even notify you if action is needed at some point). I believe it will start with a "full backup" of your selection set and then apply "incrementals" using VSS (volume shadow copy). Even without Automatic File Backup enabled I believe you can find previous version of your files by right clicking the folder/file and selecting "Restore Previous Versions". You just have to have System Restore points enabled for the drive on which files/folders live. Stuart.

Also notice that file backup does not backup .EXEs and some other file
types. And see my questions about file backup in microsoft.public.windows.vista.general -- Peter Meinl "Stuart [MVP]" wrote in message ... You can get part of the way there.
