Restore with NTBackup for XP
I installed NTBackup to do simple daily file backups, because it will backup and restore ANY file type. (3rd party programs seem limited in files types, especially OE email).
As a test, I created a folder with a test Word document inside. The backup to an external USB drive worked fine using the NTBackup Wizard.
But when I tried to test the Restore function, it asks you to check the file you wish to restore. This file list is apparently saved within NTBackup somehow, because it is there even if I unplug the backup drive.
No matter what I do, I cannot get the check box to accept the check mark for the file I wish to restore. Consequently, I cannot move forward with my restore test.
I know there are many other backup programs out there, but since I only want to save files (including OE email and Firefox bookmarks) this seems to be ideal.
I am hoping there is a simple explanation/fix. All I can find online is how to Backup. Almost nothing on Restore. And absolutely nothing about NTBackup not taking these check marks.
Any ideas?
Thanks...
BTW, I also don't seem to be able to clear the file history in NTBackup. Even uninstalling and reinstalling the utility doesn't clear it.
