These newsgroups are littered with Backup problems. Look at some of the
other posts. I'm getting scared to death from them that my backup won't
work when my drive crashes. I can't see what Backup thinks I have backed
up. Oh, yes, I can see the folder listing, but that is just an O/S
directory; I don't know if Backup sees them as sets, or what?
For example, when my backup device was full the other day, I reformatted it
to get it running again. Get this: the Backup program said my oldest
backup was August 31, 2007! And I had just formatted the drive! No, I
don't trust this program--and I paid extra to get Ultimate to get the
program.

My new moot question is... why would MS Vista Ultimate put my very first
backup set into the wrong folders??? I mean none of them were in the right
places...
and all I did was drag them (entirely in the thier folders) from one drive
to another... I never moved any of them individually...
Second moot question... MS told me that DELL signed an agreement with them
stating that they would provide all the technical support for the products
that they bought from them, aka Vista... so, why doesn't DELL provide
technical support or any support for Vista Ultimate backup and restore???
Isn't that breaking thier agreement??? Why doesn't either of these companies
offer support for this product??? or at least why are they telling me that
they don't???
My opinion: I believe that MS designed thier Complete Backup program to
randomly malfunction, simply putting all the files into the wrong folder.
Then that random person would have to contact MS and pay through the nose to
get it fixed. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I don't believe this?!? Why in the world would Microsoft do this? They could
kiss my @55 on the $5x charge. It's a bug, they should offer support more
than the original timeframe. I mean, there is a learning curve to this new
OS, especially, there is a crap load of bugs. Overall, great post! Good thing
I checked here. The folks from support would probably checking these
newgroups and look at your posting.
