It would not really make sense to backup .exe files. You can always
reinstall. If your HD crashes and you restore your .exe files they won't
work most likely. They rely on registry entries, .dll files and a whole lot
of other stuff that gets installed. If you want to safe your configuration
you should invest in a whole-disk-backup solution like Norton Ghost or
Acronis Trueimage.
