Okay, I took the leap (a little late I suppose) and now have Vista Ultimate. I’m in the process of migrating everything from my XP machine to the new Vista laptop. On XP, I’ve got a backup job that backs up my main USB thumb drive to my HD. A very handy thing when I leave my thumb drive at work and I need to access something from the thumbdrive. Imagine my surprise when I discover how dumbed-down Vista’s integrated backup software is. It won’t let me backup anything to my internal HD?! Stop thinking for me!! ~~~:-[
Okay, aside from smuggling NTBackup onto Vista from XP ( http://www.petri.co.il/installing_windows_xp_ntbackup_on_windows_vista.htm ), has anyone bumped into this and figured a way around it? I just wanna backup my thumbdrive to my local HD. I’m planning on getting Acronis to image my HD, so maybe I should just wait for that.
I shutter to think about what will happen when Vista bumps off XP on all new machines. I’m a bit scared to support my users on this OS. I hope the 700 new group policy settings can offset the pain. 🙂
