Where do I look to backup important personal files?
New user here in the forum,
I frequently backup files for other users and start w/ a new clean OS. I tried looking for some articles online, but none were really informative for me - wasn't what I was looking for. I was wondering if I could get some help here. Doesn't really matter the OS, mostly XP, Vista, or even Win7, but I guess the file structure btw. Vista and Win7 arn't really much diff.
Here is where I look to backup files:
C:\ --- sometimes I see users save some personal files at the root.
C:\Users\myprofile
Desktop
My documents
Music
Videos
Favorites
My Pictures
etc.
There are some software like (that save their files in Program Files or AppData):
Firefox
Outlook
Mozilla Thunderbird
iTunes
FlipShare
etc
Let me know if you can think of other places. Hopefully this post could help others in backing up essential directory locations.
Thanks in advance!
