Back-Up Help Please?

Ok my question is if i make a back-up for my computer now, after 2 months since i bought it, and my machine is not running good, so i want to make the back-up now before further inconvinients, will the errors and the interferiences save with the back-up and reinstall in my computer if i reinstall the backup?

help i need to do it today thank you


Yes, the backup you are making is of the current operating system, as it is today, along with all its flaws.

Consider using system restore, and rolling the computer back to an earlier date, when it was running well. THEN make a backup of the machine.

Looking for good back up software to back up to external hard drive?

I just bought a new Dell Inspiron notebook (XP Pro) to use for law school, and I would like to back up the entire hard drive weekly to a 300G LaCie external HD. What are my software options? Other suggestions welcome too. Originally, I was going to use Norton Ghost, but I have read too many horror stories and bad reviews about this one online. Basically what I need to do is back up all documents (Word, Excell, Powerpoint, etc...), settings, and all information stored in outlook. I will also be using a program by Aspen Publishers called Aspen study desk. I also need to back up all documents created in this application. Thanks!

I'd recommend you to use True Image by Acronis in order to accomplish all your backup tasks. Using this software you can easily backup applications' settings, Outlook files and files og the particular extension. Also let me approve your choice of a storage device because in my opinion an external drive is the best location for backup.

OK, for backuping data like word , excell, power point, etc; I suggest you to burn it into DVD using many kind of DVD Burning program, such as NERO Burning ROM, Sonic Record Now, etc.
I suggest you to burn into DVD because I'm tired for buying alot of External HD backup. And all of them end up with lost cluster, and worst physical bad sector. The company can give me a warranty for the External HDD by it self. But not the data.
So I suggest you to back up into DVD. Use DVD with Verbatim / Mitsubishi / TDK / other famous brand so it will last longer. This also same as I did.

All of my songs on iTunes have disappeared...?

there is absolutely nothing on my iTunes and i have no idea why! i have not plugged my iPod into the computer yet because i am afraid it will delete all of the songs still there as well. i tried dragging and importing my iTunes library, but nothing has worked. When i tired to import it, a window popped up saying "the file: 'iTunes library.itl' cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file." when i tried "adding a file to library" and clicking on my iTunes library, all that happened was that all of the categories on the left-hand side were copied. please help!

Backup Testimonials

Usually making backups once per 2 years (before reinstalling a Windows), I never got the point of paying for this kind of software. One can download it for free at sourceforge.net, dude, I'm not so stupid as I seem. So once my girlfriend added Simplified Chinese to my Windows XP and things could not get worst - the language tab was lost and no way even to copy my PhD. In 3 a.m. Vyatcheslav told be what to do and it did made a sense.

Used WinRAR 3.6 for all kinds of file & folder transactions for 8 years. Worked with FAR since MS DOS was the only OS. But then my boss asked me to backup our corporative website. So I tried the copy + paste combination, but out of 5001 files 2 where lost and several more damaged. Not much? Enough! After looking trough several PCWorld reviews I installed five trials and this little tool turned right on time, launching every Sunday night, for which I get an e-mail notification Monday morning in my mailbox.

Sent my letter on Sunday morning, waiting that it will take to business days from Monday onwards, so I was surprised to get the answer in two hours from the support with a flash demo attached and detailed instruction how to fix my Windows Vista issue.


Den, software engineer, 26 looking to “backup winamp settings” downloads the plugin and leaves the site. He's busy, so he’ll check the files later. Coming home he opens the downloaded archive on his Flash card and finds nothing else than a .xml file with no hint what do next.

Office Backup managed to backup my Windows XP system registry in 32 sec, it took five minutes to backup 46 389 files in My Documents folder and a week to come to the desicion to buy the AOL plugin.
