Although there is one limitation to the supplied MS backup utility in Win 7
that I don't like. That is if you store your backup files on a networked
drive, it only saves the current disk image. Myself I would prefer to have
a full image along with incremental updates to that image like Acronis does.
That way I am able to restore my system to any date that I desire. But to
each his own... if you're satisfied with the way Win7's backup works, then
I'm happy for you...
