*.EXE fles to Backup

Hi,

Is there a custom way to INSTALL backup to backup ; My Documents ; no matter
the name or type of file?

If One Care cannot backup *.exe files than when will MS update it?

Or should we cancel One Care and use Cobian Backup.

Cobian Backup is a multi-threaded program that can be used to schedule and
backup your files and directories from their original location to other
directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network.
FTP backup is also supported in both directions (download and upload).
Cobian Backup exists in two different versions: application and service. The
program uses very few resources and can be running on the background on your
system, checking your backup schedule and executing your backups when
necessary.

Cobian Backup is not a normal backup application: it only copies your files
and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, creating a
security copy as a result. So Cobian Backup can be better described as a
"Scheduler for security copies". Cobian Backup supports several methods of
compression and strong encryption.

Thanks for your help and tips ; Novice @ New Orleans Louisiana

OneCare backs up by File Type and will, by default, scan pretty much all of the
drive for files to backup except for \Windows and \Program Files, with a few
exceptions.
You can add more locations to the exclusion so as to narrow down your backup
selection to a specific folder or folders, but you are still limited by the
exclusions of types that were defined - exe, dll, etc. - the full list can be
found by going to Help in OneCare, and searching on the topic "Backup."
I am doubtful that OneCare will be given the option to override these
exclusions, so if that's important to yo, you should look into an alternative
backup solution.
