I need simple instructions on how to backup OE folders and files using Microsoft Backup. > Sorry to say that solutions using other hardware and processes such as Zip are not financially possible. > I used to backup OE version 4 with MC Backup and it worked fine, several diskettes of course but it worked and the only time I had to restore (reformat C drive and reinstall everything) it worked fine. > > This is not so with Version 5. I have created a Backup job which I run and from which I get a report showing very few folders/files have been backed up and, most worrying, the number of bytes backed up appears to stay the same whenever I run Backup. > > I can document all the details of this but If someone can quickly catch on to whet I am doing wrong then it will save a lot of typing. > > Hope to hear from someone as I'm sure that lots of listers are happily and easily doing this on a regular basis. > > Norman Backhouse [email protected] > > > > ==== OUTLOOK-EXPRESS Mailing List ==== > To remove your email address from this list, visit this url: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cheps/maillist.htm >
