Win XP Backup Utility
I recently installed a Buffalo Technologies NAS Drive on
my WIN-XP system. It appears to be running an imbedded version of NT 4.9. The problem is, when using the Windows backup utility, the archive bit for files on this drive do not get cleared, thus making incremental backups useless. All files become candidate for backup in incremental mode because thats what the utility uses to select files to backup. Does anyone konw of a way to correct this? i.e. set/clear the archive bit as appropriate. Alternativly, is there a hidden option somewhere to specify the modification date as a parameter to the backup utility? This feature appears to have been removed from the utility at some point. I would be happy if I could specify "backup files modified since mm/dd/yyyy" Hopefully someone knows a good answer! thx |

My suggestion is that since you have a NAS drive, use Ghost or Drive image and do a full Hard Disk Drive Image.
Done this way, your 'backup' process will take about 1/2 hour and will capture the full hard disk. Then should you need to recover from a failure, the full Windows setup [all applications, all user files, all email etc] can be recreated in less than 1/2 hour. A must better and simpler way for the average user. PLUS full system backup and recover that ensures you are totally up and running from a full disaster in 1/2 hour...think of it: that's less than the time it takes to install a clean version of XP! |
