Windows 7 backup doesnt work

The program is rubbish. It required UAC disabled on VIsta and there is no me mention of 7. Find a comparable program. Its a lazy program that requires UAC to be disabled.

trouble is im not aware of any comparable program at this time. they are the standard for law firms, nothing else comes close that i have seen.

and btw, i have several other programs that require UAC disabled, and none of them break win7 backup.

It isn't right that a programmer can't work with WIndows. I'd contact the app manfacturer and look for an update.

I like the Win7 backup imaging.

I have it save a backup image of my HDD in 15 minutes to a primary formatted partition, then copy that to an external backup in case of HDD failure.

If I ever need to reinstall, I just boot from the Win7 installer, choose Repair>Recover Using an Image and it will auto-detect either the recovery partition or the saved external image, then reimage the HDD flawlessly in 15 minutes.

I will never have to do another reinstall.

exactly the reason i want this to work.

yeah, i tried that the same day i told obama to drop the health care fiasco. same response from both....

but really, i dont think blaming the programmer is constructive; it is what it is, they JUST upgraded the program to the current version in the last couple months, so the question is, what can i (realistically) do about it.

then again, i am still confident obama will return my messages....
