best backup software for Vista Home Ultimate that will allow me toselect files and folders to backup and restore
I basically have 10 GB of music, 5 GB of pictures and 1 GB of documents
plus a couple of folders on my Desktop (containing downloads) that I would like to be able to backup. I have a restore CD to restore to factory settings...it's my data I'm worried about. Vista doesn't let me select the files and folders I want. I don't want to spend a lot of $$ but I do want easy backup and restore. What are my best options? ....Lisa |

Consider investing in a good external drive.

I've used Acronis True Image and Novabackup with good results.

Good point. I didn't know that. I assume you can reinstall Vista, install
Novabackup, then restore from there. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "Iain" wrote in message ...
