Unfortunately, this doesn't move the location of your address book and email. To do this you need to edit the registry. I can't remember the key off the top of my head but, if you know where your data is held currently, then it's easy to search for it.
Now back up the whole partition every time. I use DVD-RAM which works fine (if a little slow). Also, if Windows gets in a pickle and you have to reformat your drive, simple leave your work alone and it will still be there afterwards |
This is how I have both my machines set up, I have one partition on my machine that stays on all the time and I back it up several times a day to the other network machine. I even have a DVD+RW in the drive all the time so I can be sure that the once daily external backup works too. Not that I'm paranoid about my files you see
Oh and Tweak-XP can make the changes to the registry for you, there's normally a trial version floating around that last for 50 runs or something.
