Ok I need to backup one database file daily, but I don't see that ability
with vista. Its either the whole pc or select types of files.

XP had this ability so what genius at microsoft thought this function wasn't
needed??????

I believe you could do this reliably with Acronis True Image, and you'd
have reliable whole system backups too instead of relying on the MS tool
which I don't trust, If only one file I guess you could use Task
Scheduler, which would be a lot better than nothing at all... errm it's
under accessories/system tools fro the programs menu.
 
Hey Brent,

If you are only going to backup one file, create a scheduled task to back it
up for you.
 
Copy or Xcopy or Robocopy
put the command in a batch file
schedule the batch file to run every day.
 
Synctop doesn't let me schedule backups.

Why did microsoft screw up something good? XP backup worked great, Vista
back sucks. In XP I could just backup my local profile, 15 GB. Now in Vista
I have to back up types of files, so now my backup is 40 GB.

Anyone out there beta testing Vista SP1? interested to see if this is fixed
in SP1.
