I get it now! Perhaps they are always doing a half-as? job to give
user assurance that they are doing their best for home user. Backup
is essential and they got the most un-computer person just to save a
few bucks.
At least give the home user a piece of mind that they can backup and
restore if their computer f?ck. Sorry my french but ...
Arrrrrrggghh!
No you don't get it at all! Your reply shows that you didn't read a word I
wrote - it has nothing whatsoever to do with MS doing a "half-as [/sic/]
job" - Home lacks some of the advanced features of Pro - had you bothered to
do your homework before purchase, you'd have known what they were and you
could have decided then that you really needed Pro. Because you bought
blind, you are blaming MS because you can't bear the thought of placing the
blame where it really lies - i.e. WITH YOU!
Mind you, having said that, your post doesn't even make sense - is English
your first language? "They got the most un-computer person to save a few
bucks" - it doesn't even make sense! May I suggest you step away from the
computer and go back to attending Remedial English 101? You clearly need it!
OK - it's words of one syllable time.
It is your fault. You should have done your home-work before spend-ing your
mon-ey.
Having said that, ASR doesn't do what you appear to think it does. It merely
recreates the basics, to allow the system to boot.It does *NOT*, as you
appear to think, image the drive - for that you will need a third-party
solution as I mentioned in my previous post.
From Help and Support: -
"ASR is a two-part system of recovery: ASR backup and ASR restore. The
backup portion is accomplished through the ASR Wizard located in Backup. The
wizard backs up the system state, system services, and all disks associated
with the operating system components. It also creates a file containing
information about the backup, the disk configurations (including basic and
dynamic volumes) and how to accomplish a restore."
Suggest you use Help and Support occasionally - you never know, you might
just learn something (doubtful, but something has to penetrate).
