Windows Backup & Restore

Since I have Vista, I decided to try out its software. One I thought I should really check out is Vista's Built in Backup program.

I ran it, created a full image backup on my other drive. I was reading somewhere after you do this, windows will update it every so while. I can not tell that its doing this. How do I set it? I want to tell it when to do it.

Also, does this image contain my documents, pictures, music, etc etc etc?
 
Thanks man, when I first did the backup, it must of been a different shortcut cause it only let me do a complete backup and no settings. I looked around and now found the Backup Restore & Settings area, and everything is all good now.

Great little built in tool.
 
Will this make a complete back up of the drive as in if the OS does haywire and needs a reinstall. My friend has bought a new pc with vista pre installed but got no back up disks, i tried drive image 7.0 but it is not compatible, so i need something that will back up his whole drive so if in a major crash i can boot from it as he got no windows disk and would require to but it.

does he have a second partition with the restore information installed on it. Depending on the brand of computer all the backup and restore information might be installed to a second partition and restored with a bootup utility. HP used to use these not sure if they still do.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
