Backup laptop with only 1 partition to desktop across network
I have a desktop system running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit that I back up nightly. Periodically, I remove one of my backups (there are two sets), and move it off site. So, the desktop is pretty well covered.
My wife has a new laptop running Windows 7 Home. There's only 1 hard drive, and only 1 partition on that. She wants me to make sure all her data is backed up regularly. NOT just the data she "knows" about - her Word documents and whatever that are in a folder she creates, but also all the "OTHER" stuff like Outlook address book, contacts, browser bookmarks, etc. Essentially, all the OTHER stuff that gets created in the Users folder tree and elsewhere.......
I use Syncback, so I put that on her system, and it works sort-of, throwing 2000 errors because of files and folders it can't copy. Some of the errors are in the Users folder tree, so I'm guessing there are files open there and other problems.
She doesn't want to deal with external drives and "all that foolishness". So, what's a good method of getting her system backed up across the network to my desktop so her "stuff" can be included in my nightly backups?
