Well the moniker "No file left behind" is interesting. Backing up in Windows has always been a pain. My notebook came with, supposedly, FREE could backup. But that turned out to be the first month. They've been hounding me weekly ever since with warnings to pay up or they'll delete my backup files. I respond, "Go ahead and delete them already." Then the send me an apology note with a reduced rate offer. I continue to say I'm not paying. I do my own backup. (for free). But it would be nice to have a more automated process.

Back in the old DOS days I wrote my own batch file commands that would handle these things. I'd type "in" and the computer would load in files I carried home at night. I'd type "out" and it'd take files from the hard disk and copy them to the traveling drive. Very simple and direct. I got coppied what I wanted when I wanted it. But in this drag-and-drop environment, everything seems much more complicated.

I'm hoping maybe Bill Gates has gotten in right this time
