XP Backup Facility

[Andrew Bonney \(abweb\)]

Hi,
I just tried out the Windows XP backup facility and set a schedule for it to
be run daily. The problem is it backs up all of the folders, but only the
files that have been modified recently. For example when I was backing up
over 1000 files and tried to restore on another PC only the recently
modified files but all of the folders appeared.

When I watched the backup process itself for the number of files and folders
being backed up it too said that all of the folders but only some of the
files were being backed up. What can I do to get it to back up every file in
the folders I specify???

You to run a "normal" backup.

From Backup Help info:
"A normal backup copies all selected files and marks each file as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is
cleared). With normal backups, you need only the most recent copy of the backup file or tape to restore all of the files. You
usually perform a normal backup the first time you create a backup set."
