Re: No Backup tab in Accessories/System Tools

Hey Wes,
I cleaned lots of stuff and Defraged, and now started to backup in Iomega's
100mb in no time was full, and had 4 hrs... to go. Stopped and saved in A:,
well it was up to 8 days and ... min. and still going. Is that right?
How many A: cassettes can it take for a normal backup?
Do you have any ideas, and should I really backup before I buy/install
WebTrends?
Now I know why you wrote "Have fun". Also, was it ok to close/stop backup
while it was still going on?
Jezzz, I made times hard for me now with that WebTrend wanting!!!
Thanks again
Bebb

You can download NTBackup here:
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/software/ntbackup.msi

ntbackup.exe does not allow backing up directly to CD.

From X:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP\README.TXT

[[NTBackup Backup/Restore and ASR release notes
2. Backup to CDRW

If you decide to backup to a CDRW, you cannot target that device
directly. You must create a backup set of 650MB or less and backup to a
file. After the file is complete, copy the file to the CDRW.]]

I want to purchase WebTrend's Pinicillin's Antivirus and need to backup
my system first. In Accessories/System Tools there is no Backup in my
PC. Used Help and Support and in the instr.'s video, the Wizard's first
page explanation is different from my Files and Setting Transfer Wizard
(FSTW). Is TSTW be the same as
the supposed Backup?
Also, my FSTW does not have a CD Rom setting to save the Backup into, it
only has the A: and E: drives.
TY for your time.
