| | best backup software for Vista Home Ultimate that will allow me toselect files and folders to backup and restore I basically have 10 GB of music, 5 GB of pictures and 1 GB of documents plus a couple of folders on my Desktop (containing downloads) that I would like to be able to backup. I have a restore CD to restore to factory settings...it's my data I'm worried about. Vista doesn't let me select the files and folders I want. I don't want to spend a lot of $$ but I do want easy backup and restore. What are my best options? ....Lisa |
