This brought up the question of backing her stuff up, so trying to offer her the easiest advice I could think of, mentioned the built in backup Vista has. I copied over roughly 4.5g of stuff from the old hard drive, so I know there isn't that much stuff on it. I showed her how it worked and we attempted Files backup while at my desk, but after 20 minutes of that, I had other things to do. I just canceled it, told her it probably wouldn't take much longer overall and she could do it at home. Well, she tried. After 7 hours or so it's still going on one DVD. I didn't see TONS of complaining online about the speed of Vista's backup, but there isn't exactly a lot to configure here. Is this other peoples experience? -- Mike Gill ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
