Re: Vista Home Basic back up failure
I unticked all items that might be large, all that should have remained are
some picture files and text files, no music, no video and all that is on the
drive is a total of 28 G including the operating system, so it shouldn't be
that large. Just trying to get the image files (328 MB), e-mail files and a
bunch of document files backed up plus whatever else it will back up outside
of the things like video etc.
