Hey There,
I read Stevens reply and, with all due respect, I'm not sure that is correct.
I have the same queston that I have not been able to get a definative answer on yet. At least not one that I completely beleive.
I was told the same thing but if you go to the "additional files to backup" part of one care and add "C:\" I THINK it will backup everything on the "C". I was told that the Windows folder did not get backed up but when I searched my back up, guess what, I found that the Windows folder had been backed up. Someones wrong somewhere???
Here's the bigger issue. OneCare is not made for major failures like we are discussing which in turn gives people a false sense of security about their backup safety. I have been told that it will not restore various software back to a working condition and isn't that what you really need when you have a major HDD problem. The other issue is that many times by the time you have a major crash your "Recovery Disks" are so old that you generally just want to go to the next level of the OS as in Windows Media Center 2002 to Media Center 2005 or even to Vista. I mean who wants to install SP2 again and try to work forward from there??
Bottom line: Probably not a good thing that all these people think they are "SAFE" when they have a long, trying and expensive road ahead to recover from a major HDD problem.
Finally, shouldn't there be a PDF file of documentation or something that walks you through different option and the screen during say, "a restore process"??? Haven't found it yet and been told that I won't.
Good Luck GV and best reguards. You might want to try RAID technology. Hot swappable drives are the only way to go.
