True but somen programs make it very inconvinent to back up just the
data easily. Mostly by Thinking THEY know better where the Data should
reside then you the Operator does. I being small potatoes don't have to
much data to back up but I have a bat file that drops to DOS and uses
XCOPY to copy my most important Data to a Removable drive.
