I can't figure out how to post otherwise, so here is a slightly unrelated
item. I plan to use a full Wipe out of an old Dell with many corruptions.
Along with saving some of the my docs folder on other media to reinstall
after the full HD restrore, I want to save the Fax console and related files
to paste-overwrite back into the renewed windows installation. Especially
Fax console is important, since it is a record of all incoming and sent faxes
for the last 5 years of so. Any help?

http://www.jeffreydavidmorris.com said:Hello all. I was using the NTBackup utility to back up (yeah, backup all on
computer); BUT, when and if I need to restore, from a external backup drive
(that I do not keep plugged into the back of my desktop tower/chassis, but
only solely when I need to add something to the external drive or whatever,
you know) It's 100GB, My tower/chassis's internal drive is: 120GB, and my
thinking is that I can not solely rely on just one back/restore program; I
gotta have two, just in case one doesn't work or (?). Thus, I've copy and
pasted text (below) from a read out copy of my PC ("Belarc"), which of course
I know, only shows what's on a pc and I wanted to share it with you all,
thus, to get a direct, misc point of view opinion, to the point and short as
to Full backup vs Full image. I like how easy NTBackup lay out is, but
recently, maybe because of a sole tweaking program I had (backuped up) didn't
return my pc back to what is was, and of course for more reason's than one, I
know, I 'get' it, reviewing these MS forums. So, I'm here to see what people
can respectfully and kindly share, on aside from doing one backup with
NTBackup utility, I wanna get another backup/restore program, which both will
use seperate file extension's (NT uses .bk?), and yes, maybe I'll have to get
a bigger external hard drive (from 100GB to say 500 GB) I know, I hear you.
But for now, I just need to move in the process of doing something, for home
pc security/safety precautions in the sense you know. I do create sysem
restore point's often, clear the thing's in Internet Options (temp and
history, misc often, and record's of recently access stuff from taskbar -
properties - start menu) you know; I'm atop of this/that, I know, but this
backup/restore issue is something I gotta deal with as well. SO, yeah, I can
do a NTBackup, find out about a either free or little cost backup/restore
program, but full backup vs full image; I, like you all (?), need it restored
(if I need to do that), per backup just as it was before, you know.
Setting's, desktop image background theme, all in control panel setting's,
everything. and for now, yeah, I got a external backup drive which I don't
keep plugged in all that time (because of online hacker's, misc), I use
external like (ie: vacuum, misc, you know, plug in when I need it, unplug
when I'm done; make sense?) We all, more less (user's) have to be able to
rely and trust each other, come on; 6.7 billion can't be that banged up, etc
&^%$#@!, you know, I'm as human as you are. SO, can anyone share anything
helpful, useful, AND, per what I'm saying above, PLEASE, and I do thank you
respectfully, honestly - in advance. Oh, and I mean, backup AND restore of
exact registry, system state, including OS: Windows XP Home Edition Service
Pack 2 (build 2600) EVERYTHING on internal, just saying, no offense. Again,
thank you sincerely, kindly and respectfully in advance. And I know this is a
'single' processor and the number of processes in Task Manager's bottom left
hand corner should only read 16 or 17, but I got/want alot of stuff running
at startup and in the background, but because of slowness, I can't have it
run, but have saved the installation's file's of alot of stuff when I get
upgraded to a whole new pc (quad core, either Intel or AMD; I've done semi
research, it's just the lack of money). I want what I want running, but want
a processor to 'regulate', 'the man', thus, running processes slow down
processor. I do just surf, BUT, need quad core to run what I want.
