I now have an external hard drive for my Windows 7 computer, and it's been set up by the computer store to do a weekly back up of my computer. I have checked that the file date is new after the backup, so I presume it is working properly.
To the best of my knowledge the backup will restore my hard drive if it fails again, but I cannot retrieve individual files or folders from it. For reasons lost in the mist of time I have a drive E on my computer on which I store all my data files. Is there a way of also doing a backup of that drive in such a way that I could go into that data backup and retrieve individual files?
Will SyncToy let me do that?
Will SyncToy work on Windows 7 as well as Windows XP?
Is there a book or source which provides 'Backup for Dummies' level information?
