With WindowsXP backup I could choose while directories to backup, and by
default it backup My Documents & SETTINGS. This include wall of the Office
App data under my account's "Documents and Settings".
My backup strategy was keep My Documents under 4GB (the size of a DVD) and
Create seperate folders under the root for big blocks of data like photos.
There also were kept in 4GB hucks.
I would back each up to a hard drive and the copy the files to a DVD with
Nero.
With Vista's Backup Center I appear to have two choices. My Documents or the
whole disk, and the whole disk can only go to a stack of DVD's
I just did a My Documents backup and the PST files from Office 2003 aren't
there including my mail! There appears to be no way to backup anything else!
Am I missing something, or have we lost a valuable piece of functionality
with this backup?
