  albion9,

   

  Thank you for visiting the OneCare forum for Backup and Restore

   

  You can turn off the backup component of OneCare by:

   

  1. Launching OneCare

  2. Click on Change Settings

  3. Click on the Backup Tab

  4. Click Next

  5. Under Your Backup Plan there should be an option to uncheck "Turn on backup on this PC"

  6. Click Next and Save.

  Note that the CD/DVD option for backup will be dimmed and unavailable if you are looking at the option for Centralized Backup. It should be available if you are configuring backup for your specific computer, selected from the bar on the left of the backup configuration dialog or after stepping through the wizard to not use Centralized Backup.
