I prefer the OneCare backup, with it you can add folders to back up as
opposed to the Vista backup, you can only choose files types, not locations.
Plus, the Vista backup won't backup any executable files . . . so any
programs (install programs in particular) will not be backed up.
I think Vista's backup is amazingly limited, it could have been great, but
they really dropped the ball.
