[Dixonary] OT: Backup Software
I have been using my own system for backing up my computer. Basically I
run a .bat file that copies files to an external drive. I have decided that maybe this is a little too informal. So I have been considering a product called iDrive. I am trying to find out something about it. The first question is whether it will run on my computer which is, at present, running Windows Vista. I think the most recent version of iDrive may not work with Vista. iDrive has been around for awhile, which means that even if the current version doesn't work with Vista, it might be possible to get an earlier version that will run under Vista. Another question is whether iDrive runs all the time. I care about this because when I am not using my computer, I turn it off. If iDrive (or anything else, for that matter) runs continuously, shutting off the computer may be a problem. When I say I turn off the computer, I mean I close anything that's running, and turn the power off. If Drive never stops running,Â* and in fact cannot be stopped, I will no longer be able to turn the computer off. Or rather, doing so may cause a problem for iDrive.-- Guerri -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.
