System Backup / Restore

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Hi all.

I was looking in the Web for a program capable to backup Windows system files
to later eventually restore them in case of malfunction.

I found that all of these programs only backup system.dat and user.dat,
that is, the Registry, plus some other small bits of information such as
autoexec.bat, config.sys, etc.

I have some questions about this, and hope some of you can answer them:

1) Isn't also necessary to backup the files under \windows\system and its
subdirectories, in order to make an effective backup? Because some
software installation may replace .DLLs with newer, bad ones.
I think also files under the \windows directory (but not subdirectories
other than 'system') should be backuped. 

2) Is there an Euphoria program able to perform this task? I found none in
The Archive.

3) Is somebody aware of a program that can backup a directory in an
incremental way? Because one might notice a malfuntion not immediately after
a new software installation, but later, AFTER a backup was made,
destroying the old, good backup; and backuping everything each time
is dispendious.

Regards.
