I want to be able to go DIRECTLY to the backup slice and pull out
individual
files and folders to look at, copy and transfer -- without having to store
ANYTHING on my internal HDD.

You can do that with Shadow copy.

I don't give a tinker's dam about saving multiple copies of the same file
in
various stages of editing.

So?

I want to be able to call up that capability from ANOTHER computer that
has
my USB2 external Iomega HDD attached to it -- with NO involvement by my
computer -- which we can assume has crashed in this scenario.

Um...if your computer crashed then you need everything restored. Inventing
a very specific need for a one file restore is pathetic. If you need such a
specific and narrow need then you'll need third party software. So get
TrueImage for Vista.

TrueImage can
easily be put on THAT computer too, temporarily -- if it is not already
installed and is requisite.

If you find that viable then knock yourself out. But your computer crashed
so instead of dicking around with this other computer just do what you need
to get the first computer back up and running with Complete PC Backup.


So far as has been reported, I can do that with Acronis TrueImage Home
10.0,
which cost me a mere $50. I also have many other built-in capabilities
including VERY SMART, well-structured Wizards in TrueImage.
I can currently do all that in XP with TrueImage as far as I know.

Wow, good for you. Now what about the other 20+ new Vista features.

One poster here, "JP", straightforwardly and honestly said Vista "Complete
PC Backup" does NOT have those capabilities.

XP does NOT have those either. You have NO POINT.

XP does NOT have those features
Vista does NOT have those features

So what? You need third party to get the specific feature you want. You
are NOT proving that there is no need to upgrade to Vista.

Like I said in my other post, your campaign is worthless!

Can I do what I describe above with Vista or not -- if so, with which
versions?

Nope and you can't do it with XP either. You need to install TrueImage for
either XP or Vista to do that. Either way you need to spend "$50".

Ouch, he got ripped off! That sucks.

Good Point!

I have bought software from Amazon -- but I should buy more from them.

Of course I simply downloaded TrueImage 10.0 directly from Acronis -- which
was faster and less hassle.

It would have taken several days to get it from Amazon and I needed it
earlier.

$13 for the speed advantage was worth it in this case.
