Backup using Vista

[Carol & Ray Reilly]

I backup up data to a remote Western Digital drive using the Vista Backup
Everything seems fine. I selected to backup all files on the "Back Up
Files" menu except TV Shows, Compressed Files and Additional Files. My
question is, If this hard drive dies and no longer lets me access it (which
is what happened to my last XP computer) can I save registry and all other
files that will let me restore to another hard drive with the least amount
of hassle? Also is there anyway I can save profiles and passwords and the
like. Ideally, I'd like to backup my entire hard drive and be able
reinstall it to a new hard drive if this one dies. When my XP hard drive
died I had my documents saved but had a real problem with this other
information. Thanks in advance for you advice.

Do you have a question about Windows Mail?

If you want to back up all aspects of Windows Mail, including
account settings, rules, etc. use this free third party utility:

Backing up all of Vista is not within the purview of this newsgroup.
