It's kind of nice to be able to say "well, this drive is fucked" and not worry about your data because you actually back it up.
Just a reminder, people...

Thanks, Wiley.
I managed to rescue my Win98 installation. I still have to reinstall XP, but at least my system is somewhat useable again... I missed it

I would kill if I lost all my stuff.
Kill.
Unfortunatly I don't enough money to get more HD space and backup on my Linux server, or I would. That or tape drives, but that's even worse expense wise.

I'm sure those mail server admins absolutely adore you doing that, ck.
Thing is with windows is the default save directory for a lot of programs isn't the users "my documents" folder, but rather in the programs executable directory. Makes it hard to round up everything that you want to keep.

so true, so true. It would be nice if wildcard grepping included a NOT operator, huh? then you could say something like
xcopy /h /e /c /k C:\!(*.exe,*.sys,*.dll) D:\backup\
and grab everything you want without much of the junk.
