Windows backup software
Tuesday, February 28, 2012 by gevansmd | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I use Vista Ultimate's built-in backup software and it has helped a couple of times. recently though, I realized I had lost a file but had no idea when. Unfortunately, the Vista backup software will not search its catalogs for a particular file. The only way to find it is to try to restore from each backup set until you accidentally find the one the file is in.
Anyone using a backup program that will locate a file for you by searching all its backup sets?
The Vista backup catalogs are binary. If they were XML or other text, I'd write my own search utility.

@Rosco, I do incremental backups weekly with full image backups about every 3 months.

I've retracted my previous statement. I thoroughly uninstalled ATIH and installed the latest build (6154), and things have started working now. Presently set to perform differential backups four times a week. Still not impressed that the download or installation was borked, but that's software for you, I guess.

My questions would be what and how much are you backing up? How often do you need things backed up?
