Re: Full Computer Backup - Can't Deselect the Drive D:

Hi
I do not understand, I understand very little anyways
you speek of full full backup
When I go for backup on my vista 32 bit home basic desktop
It says
Only files on NTFS Disk can be backed up.
System files, Executable files and temporary files will not be backed up
these are optional or can be checked or unchecked
Pictures
Music
Videos
Email
Documents
T V shows
Compressed files
Additional files
The anwsers givin seemed to differ from the many post I"v read
just a comment
