Jimmie: Is the restore a complete one or selective??? Thnx.

The restore feature will restore your pc to the state of its snapshot or to a restore point that you have made. It takes a snapshot about every 10 hours of on time. If it has a restore point on 1 Feb 2001 than your system will restore back to the way it was on that date. Any software you installed after 1 Feb 2001 will have to be reinstalled, most data such as my documents won't be affected by the restore. But no its not a selective restore I mean you cant choose what can and can't be restored. I have used it without any problems, infact it has saved me a few times from having to reinstall the complete OS.

Backup info is what I need. Found something about drag etc. Didn't quite understand it and it seems to be about individual files???? Need complete backup also. There was something about archieving? Didn't understand! Take care and thnx again!
