XP Backup Utility Fails
Using the Automated System Recovery Wizard and after all files are backed up
the Utility will not write to the 'A' drive. It has does this for several backups. I have used the System Restore functions to create the files, but I would rather not have to do that each time. Also, the last time I did a backup it took 15 hours to back up 60 gigs. Another computer did this in about 2 hours. Both were backed up to external hard drives, but not the same one. Any ideas or help appreciate.

XP Backup Utility Fails
Why are you using diskettes in 2010?
Why are you using a backup program from 2002? If you're serious about backing up, buy a real backup program. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est JGuy wrote: Using the Automated System Recovery Wizard and after all files are backed up the Utility will not write to the 'A' drive.

"Leonard Grey" wrote in message ... Why are you using a backup program from 2002? Has the nature of taking back-ups of files changed so substantially since then? Why change a tool *just* because it's old? This newsgroup's all about an operating system that's older than that.

The "nature of taking back-ups" has not changed...the software and
hardware available to do so has changed dramatically, and for the better. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Olórin wrote: "Leonard Grey" wrote in message ...

Which would have been a slightly more comprehensive answer to have given in
the first place. "Leonard Grey" wrote in message ...

Did it really not occur to you that the software and hardware available
for backing up...or burning DVDs or editing video or handling compressed files or searching...might have advanced over the last 8 years? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Olórin wrote: Which would have been a slightly more comprehensive answer to have given in the first place.

XP Backup Utility Fails
Look into some Imaging Apps. I use Macrium Reflect Free each Friday and save
to an External Disk Drive just bought. (http://www.macrium.com/ReflectFree.asp)............. I still do System State backups BUT added Imaging as ALL methods have had posts about them claiming "their"Backup/Image didn't work. Safety in numbers! The $40 Macrium paid Ver gives a WinPE Repair CD and does much more than Image the entire C: Drive, which is what I use Free for.. Acronis is more known but hopefully some searching will provide a suitable choice. "Andrew E." wrote: Try TechNet at microsoft,they have several backup utilities...
