Re: windows\system32\config\regback\software


Hello Nigel,

Thank you, I stand corrected I have RAID 1 applied the (2) 500GB Drives
act as (1) Drive, I am using the Intel Matrix Storage Console that is
part of my HP PC. If (1) drive fails I am protected.

Thank you,

Jeff

As to the scheduling of this backup you may be able to alter the
schedule in task scheduler
