After the user has backedup up his entire C: Drive to an external HDD using
Vista can he then go to that image backup, look at individual files and
folders, open them up -- then copy both files and folders individually, at
will, to some other drive, including the C: drive from which they were
backed up?

Thank you.

This functionality is not built into Complete PC Backup or Vista.
However, if you have Windows Virtual PC/Server installed on a computer,
you can use the tools that come with it to look into the .vhd file created
by Complete PC backup. Virtual PC/Server use the same file format as
Complete PC Backup.

It's FAR, FAR easier just to buy Acronis TrueImage 10.0 -- which has all
those capabilities built in.

So why would one want to buy Vista in order to get a piece of Backup
CRIPPLEWARE?

In essence, you are screwed because you either have to backup the entire
disc -- perhaps to the SAME machine, with Vista -- when you may just want to
pull out a single file or folder.

"Complete PC Backup" is clearly NOT Complete.

UNSAT.

As usual you are "attacking" a feature because it doesn't do what it WAS NOT
designed to do.

There is NO reason to EVER go to that backup for that reason. Do you know
what shadow copy is? It's what Apple ripped from Windows 2003 Server and
called it Time Machine. Well, it's in the same versions of Vista that comes
with Complete PC Backup.

All you have to do is right-click the file or folder, go to properties and
revert back to whatever version of the file you want.

If you deleted a file then perform this action on the folder and you'll see
your deleted file.

Once again, you failed to prove your point of there being no reason for
Vista. The only thing you have, once again, proven is your complete
ignorance of Vista. Go read a book on Vista before you make any more
foolish attacks.

Actually come up with something viable and REAL. Like how Windows Mail is
buggy when it comes to IMAP connections.

He also posted to a Vista group. He's cross posting like a mad man. He's
doing it for a reason.

He tries to come up with attacks for Vista features by asking questions
about Vista he THINKS can't be answered. He then tries to launch his loaded
question into a campaign to slam Vista and how there is no need to upgrade
from XP to Vista.

He wants the XP NG to read this campaign.

However, like all his other BS campaigns they are for not and have no merit.

I want to be able to go DIRECTLY to the backup slice and pull out individual
files and folders to look at, copy and transfer -- without having to store
ANYTHING on my internal HDD.

I don't give a tinker's dam about saving multiple copies of the same file in
various stages of editing.

I want to be able to call up that capability from ANOTHER computer that has
my USB2 external Iomega HDD attached to it -- with NO involvement by my
computer -- which we can assume has crashed in this scenario. TrueImage can
easily be put on THAT computer too, temporarily -- if it is not already
installed and is requisite.

So far as has been reported, I can do that with Acronis TrueImage Home 10.0,
which cost me a mere $50. I also have many other built-in capabilities
including VERY SMART, well-structured Wizards in TrueImage.

I can currently do all that in XP with TrueImage as far as I know.

NOW, let's knock off the weasel-wording, red-herring throwing, beating about
the bush and other stalling and diversion tactics by some of the perky PFK's
here.

Straight Answers Only Desired...

One poster here, "JP", straightforwardly and honestly said Vista "Complete
PC Backup" does NOT have those capabilities.

But I don't have _Windows Virtual PC/Server_ installed and have NO INTENTION
of installing it and using some jury-rigged klutzy interface. I already
have an EXCELLENT INTERFACE with Acronis TrueImage 10.0, and multiple
sophisticated capabilities. It's also very FAST. I can backup a GB in
about one minute.

Why on earth would I want to go to something more primitive and
complicated -- involving some NEW software on the computer that will have
crashed in this scenario?

So:

Game Time:

Can I do what I describe above with Vista or not -- if so, with which
versions?

No CRIPPLEWARE Desired.

Thank you kindly.
