Will PC Complete Backup erease my harddrive?

[Andreas Balzer]

Hi,
I'd like to create a Windows Vista 32 Bit Business German language
backup of my computer using PC Complete Backup. I'd like to save the
backup on my external harddrive where I store Windows XP Home SP2
backups of several different computers and various other files and
folders (unstructured). I'd like to know whether Windows Vista removes
any of these files during its backup process. Further on I'd like to
know whether Vista 32 Bit German language Business PC Complete Backup
creates a subfolder automatically during backup (save) process where
the backup image is stored in. As it doesn't offer me any possibility
to chose an own subfolder on the harddrive to store the image within
I'd like to know whether there is any parameter to pass to the
executable so that the backup is stored within a subfolder specified
by me. My last question is whether I have to start the backup with
administration rights.

Greetings,
Andreas Balzer

As long as there is enough space on the external drive, it will
automatically place the backup of your PC in a folder which will be created
on the external drive. It won't erase any previously saved data on the drive
even if there is not enough free space:
