I like Acronis True Image. You can do imaging as well as targeted
incremental backups.

i was hoping someone else would say it, but i'll just answer my own question.

"This functionality has been removed in Windows Vista. There are no plans to
undo this feature regression."

Jack,

It seems that you didn't want an answer. Carey gave you the answer.
Acknowlege that fact.

Hmmm. Not really. The way I see it, Carey's link pointed to an article that
describes how Vista's backup works, but does not address the OP's question,
which he ultimately found out on his own.

Joey,

I also made another bit of a mistake, It seems that the full backup is only
available in the Vista Ultimate version, the one I am using...

Q. What program can you use to perform selecting backup in Windows Vista.
A. This functionality was removed in Windows Vista.

Notes
1. You can use the ntbackup program from Windows XP to perform backups in
Windows Vista.
