Guest Heidi Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I am trying to use Windows XP backup. In the article "Windows XP Backup Made Easy" by Ed Bott, he says that if you choose the My documents and setting option that your e-mail messages and address book will be preserved. I have done a backup and looked at it through restore and I don't see where the e-mails are backed up or how to choose them to be restored. I would like to be able to schedule the backups so they occur automatically, but when I try to choose a Later time for the backup, I get the following error: An error has occurred while attempting to set task account information. The specific error is: 0x80070005: Access is denied. You do not have permission to perform the requested operation. This would seem to indicate I do not have administrative rights to set up the task. The article did not indicate that there were any special requirements to do this. If anyone can answer these questions, I would appreciate it.
Guest R. McCarty Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Re: Windows XP Backup I looked at Ed's article and the one thing that is misleading is that a backup of My Documents will not cover items like IE Favorites & Desktop ( If you store items there ) along with Email. The "Settings" option will backup email account settings but I'm not sure about the actual existing data stores. Windows stores data for each profile in the Documents and Settings folder tree. Different pieces of data are found outside the basic "My Documents" sub-folder. It's kind of hard to explain in a simple NG posting. To schedule and Authorize Tasks, your account needs a password or the Administrator account ( Which normally has a NULL or empty password ) needs one. To Windows an account without a password is considered a security risk.

I use an old copy of 'Backup My PC' I got as one of those 3rd party freebees that added onto a CD Rom I bought. Its old but works. Its flexible, but there are a good number of them out there, just google 'backup software'. Whatever you get, make sure it works before you rely on it. Backup something, move it aside and try to restore the whole thing, part of it, and maybe even restore to another folder. I do this a lot when restoring after a XP reload. I make a folder C:\OLDDRIVE and reload the entire backup to this folder. Then I can pick and choose the files to restore. It also restores the directory tree too. That's a biggie. Any software that can do all this is okay. But test before you crash one day. Most people test the restore after the fact, too late.
Guest Xandros Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Re: Windows XP Backup You may wish to struggle with the NT Backup program, which is a POS for several reasons but if you want to create backups easily and reliably check out the Acronis TrueImage 11 application.

The first part of this thread is missing or not referenced, at least in my reader. Thanks.
Guest tcarp Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Re: Windows XP Backup It's True Image Home v11. I've been very active in the forums lately getting some basic education on backups, etc. Not surprisingly there are a lot of opinion on the approaches, etc. which has been useful but it ultimately comes down to my understanding my needs and then picking a good utility. I've been using a trial version of TI Home and it will take care of most of my needs. And for $30.49 its a great price.
