I have always just gotten my external hard drive, deleted my current backup and then added a folder for videos, documents, pictures, music and so forth. I would like to do it with a program though instead. What do you suggest?

If you weren't using a neutered operating system, you could've used Time Machine or rsync to back up, and you'd be done by now. Instead, you'll just have to do as serotonin suggested, and drag Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos to your hard drive. But you can still do it in one swell foop by going to C:\Users\Dumbuser\ and drag those folders all at once. Fool. Or you could waste a few hours by alternately posting in this thread and looking for a backup utility. |
