Can't I Just Backup the Selected Folder???

[Windy]

In Vista Ultimate, I open the Backup Status and Configuration windows and
set a backup. But by default it backups the whole disk, and I needn't to do
that.

So, I wonder can I just backup the selected folder? Cause I don't have so
much space for the whole drive backup.

Thanks~~~~~

Thanks very much, brink~~~

I've read the two links you gave me in detail, but I'm afraid that it seems
there is no information about how to backup the selected folder.

Could you please give me more details to do that? Please~~~~

When I want to manually back up an individual file or folder, I use SyncToy,
very convenient. Have a look at:

There are a couple of freeware applications that that are useful for
backing up specific files or folders.

Cobian Backup

Thanks again. I got it.

Windy,

My mistake. It's only good for backing up certain type of files. For
backing up a particular folder itself, you are pretty much left with
having to do copy it manually to the backup location without using some
3rd party program.

Sorry,
Shawn
