Vista says it's time to run a full backup -- but doesn't tell me H

I've been using File Backup daily for half a year on Vista 64-bit Ultimate.
The backup tool has been appending incrementals to the initial backup set
which was created half a year ago. Now (finally) Vista prompts me to do a new
full backup with this message in the system tray:

"It's time to run a full backup. Click to start a new full backup."

Now, when I click that message, it just opens the regular Backup
application... but there's no visible "Create new full backup now" option
anywhere?! So how on earth am I supposed to accomplish what Vista is
prompting me to do?

Did you install SP1? I got an "aborted" error and had to go into settings to
get a new full backup AFTER SP1. My old DVD was nowhere near full.

Click on "Change settings".
You will have the option to adjust your current backup settings or start a
new, full backup.

Hi mch42,

If there is no option there, then you can just create a Complete PC Backup normally instead. This will show you how if needed.

So far this is the only solution I've come across, i.e. you have to go
through the Change Settings wizard in order to make a new full backup. Not
very intuitive to the end user, really, but at least it works..

so creating a new Complete PC Backup is *not* the same thing as doing a new
full File Backup, and it does *not* cause a new file set to be created on
your file backup storage.

Seems like the only way to get a new file set / full backup is do what Gary
Mount suggested above, i.e go to Change Settings, go through the file backup
wizard, and in the end check the "create full" checkbox..
