OK, I've done all these things, and so far, pretty good, but, still how do I
make it so taht the folders that you normally can't access, but now I can,
still won't let me Back Them Up with my Backup programs, either with the
Vista Backup or my Acronis Backup or Norton Backup.
I've tried all of these and still, the files that Vista considers to be
protected, even though I have Full Control and Ownership of them all now,
they still can't be automatically backed up with any backup software.
Soooo, I end up having to manually do this backing up to my other drive.
The point is, that I want a COMPLETE copy of my C drive ALWAYS backed up for
my own protection for later use if and when I need it, but when you go to
back things up, it never backs up these certain files.
namely the Application Data Folders/Files.
Which, are where all the settings are placed for your programs and where my
Mozilla Email is all stored, so thus, if you "think?" you are backing these
things up, you later find you really didn't back up didly squat!
And I despise having to redo all of these settings later on when I need to
reformat and reinstall all of my programs and such.
Why even have a Backup system in Vista if even it's own backup program can't
even backup "truly" everything on the C drive, like you want it to?
When I use my Acronis Backup Program, the whole idea is so that you can put
complete programs right back to the way you had them running before, but it
can't do that if it isn't being allowed to "see" the files that need to be
backed up.
Cuz I can manually click on the so called protected type files and copy them
manually and view them and all that, they just don't seem to be able to be
seen by backup programs.
And I can see why, since they are slightly ghosted.
Anyway, this is the third thread I've posted this subject to, so I'm hoping
that I'll get some "real" answers to these issues?
Thanx.................md
P.S. I initially was quite supprised to see just how many zillions of
threads there are on this subject of Permissions, but now not so much
supprised LOL
