or does the Vista Home premium 64 bit version do a complete backup?

I'm not sure the backup it performed to my external HD imaged the system files, etc.

Any information, suggestions, comments are appreciated.

Thanx

Hi Frizzie,

No, sorry. The Complete PC Backup is only for the Vista Enterprise, Ultimate, and Business editions.

Acronis True Image is a great backup program. You can buy a discounted version here.

Thanx so much for your help, Shawn. This forum is a blessing to me seeing that I've migrated from using OS win98se to Vista.

I have to read tho the posts here so I won't have to bother you so much with questions that may have already been answered.

Thanx again!
