Have tried this, but it never comes up with restore from a local backup, goes as far as telling me that the disk that I put in is not a Windows live one care disk, and to insert one and click next. No matter which backup disk that I use (11) still same resultSaturday, January 17, 2009 1:21 AM

Has anyone ever had a fully successful restore using this software?Sunday, March 1, 2009 3:35 PM -
Sure, most have, but like any other backup aplication there are sometimes errors due to specific hardware/software configurations, computer errors, backup media errors, and user errors.
