What system files need to be backed up

[teddyoggin]

I used to have the following list of files that should be backed up in XP:
c:\Windows\AllUsers
c:\Windows\ApplicationData
c:\Windows\Desktop
c:\Windows\Favorites
c:\Windows\SendTo
c:\Windows\StartMenu

Anyone care to suggest an alternative list for backing up in Vista please?

Thanks for your reply. Are you saying that Vistas own backup utility ensures
that all important files are backed up now?

Use an image based backup program.
