Third party backup software is looking better. I just realized that not only is Windows 7 backup a pain, but <em>it won't recognize any of my painstakingly-acquired backups stored on my external hard drives ... because ... they were made under XP</em>. Way to go, Microsoft, to make your backup system NOT backward-compatible with your previous system! (Vista doesn't count.)</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/962/36002012-08-26T10:50:14ZSursumCorda<p>Windows XP has a backup program; it's under Accessories/System Tools/Backup. The routine part of it is my own. :)</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/962/35992012-08-26T06:14:04ZStephan<p>Windows XP has a backup routine? I use batch files with different variations on xcopy to incremental backup my photos and videos and full backup the rest. If xcopy still exists in Windows 7 (haven't checked yet), I'll be glad to share.</p>
