Re: [CGUYS] third party xp-Vista backup software
i see Genie Backup Manager 8 is the recommended software from pc magazine anyone have any comments on it, or some other program that: 1. does not do backup written to the sky(i want cd/dvd/tape in hand) 2. costs less than 100 bucks 3. does not do an image backup(i have Acronis and dislike it) At 04:48 PM 6/21/2008, you wrote: >Mozy.

Re: [CGUYS] third party xp-Vista backup software
Yes, most of the *data* you backup from WinXP will transfer to Vista. At least, I can't think of any that won't. If you're actually asking if *programs* will transfer, then no, most won't - they'll need to be installed in Vista. If you're just backing up personal data, you want Jungle Disk. If you want to be able to restore your whole C: drive at a moment's notice you need to image. http://www.jungledisk.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_image Programs like BackupMyPC are very much yesterday's news, and have no place in a good backup strategy in 2008.
