    What are the differences between OneCare Backup and Vista Ulitmate?  I have both and am thinking about using one of them for my weekly backups.
    Key areas I'm interested in are:
    + Speed to backup
    + Ease of backing up (including options)
    + Ease of restore
    + Does it do a differential or complete backup each time
    + Ability to choose which files/directories are backed up
    + Ability to image entire drive
    + Ability to conduct a batch backup (several internal drives) to NAS


    Right now I use SyncBack and have found it to be very easy and fast.  If I need to restore a file I can just browse my NAS and copy back.  My goal, however, is to stay within the MS Suite of available products for several reasons.

    Feedback is appreciated.

    Based on your key areas of interest I would recommend Vista backup.

    I totally agree and will suggest that you use the full PC backup feature in Vista Ultimate. It is a dream to use in the event of a system failure. ;-)
