From what I've read the backup feature in Live OneCare won't backup all system files, *.exe included. (Hint to Microsoft: Doing a complete system image from Live OneCare backup would be a nice feature for an add on program thats already being paid for) | |||||||||||||||

| Re: configure *.exe files Unfortunately, the only way you can backup exe files with OneCare is to rename the file extensions or add them to an archive, as exe files are excluded from backup natively. -steve "New Orleans Novice" <ReadingLearningWriting@xxxxxx> wrote:

| Re: configure *.exe files 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.
