`
`Of course, this system requires more backup disk space
`(or tapes), because you'te actually making duplicate anu
`triplicate copies of certain files. But the payoff comes when
`your hard drive dies, instead of having to restore each day's

`you need to restore only the last Normal backup and one

`Advanced backup options
`The final wizard screen now appears (Figure 16-14). If you click Finish, the backup
`process begins—aprocess that may take several secondsor several hours, depending
`on how much you're copying. Your workhere is done.
`Onthe other hand,ifyou click the Advancedbuttononthefinal wizard screen, you're
`treated to yet another wizard. Most people, mostofthe time, will never need these
`special-case options, but here’s whatthe screens of the Advanced wizardoffer:
`» Choose the type of backup you want: Normal, Copy, Incremental, Differential, or
`Daily (see the box on page 500).
`+ The next part of the screen offers to verify eachfile that’s backed up. In just a few
`seconds, you get a confirmation that the copy perfectly matches the original—a
`goodidea.
`Onthe samescreen, you may be offered something called Hardware Compression,
`areference to circuitry inside a tape drive that condenses the amount ofspace your
`files take up. If your drive offers this feature, useit.
`* The Backup Optionsscreen lets you specify what should happenif your backup
`disk already contains previous backupfiles. “Append this backupto the existing
`backups”preservesthe earlier backup set—at the expenseofdisk space, of course.
`“Replace the existing backups”wipes out the original backup.
`* The Whento Back Up screen lets you indicate when you want this backupto take
`place—noworat a specified time and date (click the Set Schedule button shown
`in Figure 16-14).
`
`Click Finish
`When Backupis finished backingup your files, a window shows how manyfiles and
`bytes were backed up.(If you see a message indicating an error, click Reportto see a
`written record of what happened during the backup.)
`
`Tip: Most backuperrorsarise when Backuptries to backupa file that’s open. To avoid this problem,exit
`all your programsbefore backing up.
`
`After the backup is complete, click Close to close the Report window. Your data is
`safe—for now.

`
`Restoring with Microsoft Backup
`Restoringfiles is less complicated than backing them up—a goodthing, considering
`the emotional state of anyone who’s just experienced a total hard drive meltdown.
`That’s because, unless you're a spectacularly unlucky individual, you don’t perform
`restores as often as you do backups—and you don’t schedule them. The Backup
`program’s Restore Wizard doesall the work for you.

`

`
`
`Tip: Perform regulartest restores, to make sure your data is retrievable from the backup disks. (Consider
`restoring yourfiles to a test folder—not the folder wherethefiles came from—so you don't wind up with
`duplicates.) There’s no other way to be absolutely sure that your backups are working properly.
`
`Microsoft Backup
`
`Torestorefiles using the Restore Wizard,here’s the plan (which assumesthat, if your
`whole hard drive was trashed, you havealready replaced it and reinstalled Windows
`XP ):
`
`1. Click Start—All Programs—Accessories—System Tools—Backup.
`
`The Backup or Restore Wizard Welcomescreen appears.
`
`Click Next. On the secondscreen,click “Restorefiles and settings,” and then click
`Next.
`
`The WhatTo Restore page contains the now-familiar expanding display thatlists
`your PC’s backup devices. The displaylists a File icon, too,so that you can restore
`from a backupfile (see “Select the backup medium”on page 501). Backup displays
`the date andtime each backupfile was made, makingiteasyto select the right file.
`If you use a tape drive or other device for your backups,the displaylists the tapes
`or disks you havecreated.
`
`Click to select the items you wantto restore, exactly as you did whenselecting
`files to back up.
`
`
`Tip: Clicking the + button expands a folder so that you can select an individual file inside it. This is also a
`great trick if you're restoring, from your backupfile, a document that you've accidentally deleted from the
`hard drive.
`
`3. Select the tape or disk that contains your backup. Select the data to restore.
`
`Whenyouselect the backup disk or tape, the right pane in the Whatto Restore
`screen contains an expandablelist of its contents. Double-click the folders seen
`here for a list of individual files. Turn on the checkboxesof thefiles and folders
`you wantto restore, as shown in Figure 16-15.
`
`Note: Whenever Backup backs up yourfiles, it remembers whichfiles it put on which backup disks by
`creating a table of contents on the disk or tape that was in the drive when the job ended.
`
`That's why, as you browsethefiles listed on a backupdisk, you may be asked toinsert that final disk or tape.
`Only then can Backup show you what's on it.
`
`4, On the Completing the Backup or Restore Wizard screen, click the Advanced
`button,if you like.
`
`Ordinarily, Backup restores every backed-upfile onto your hard drive in exactly
`the samefolder from which it came.If the original file is still in that original folder,
`however, it doesn’t bother copying the equivalentfile from the backupdisk.If that
`arrangement sounds goodto you, skip to the next step.

`
`But suppose you'd like Backup to putthefiles in a different folder, or you want
`them to replace the duplicatefiles it encounters. In that case, the Advanced button
`is justthe ticket. It lets you specify where you wantthe restored files to go: into the
`folders they came from or someotherdisk or folder.
`If you choose“Alternate location,’ you can type in the path to (or Browse to) a
`different folder (like C:\Rescued). If there’s no such folder, Backup will createit
`for you.
`If you turn on “Single folder,’ Backup dumpsall oftheselectedfiles directly into
`onespecified folder, loose (not in a hierarchy of folders). Choose this option if
`youre simplytryingto reclaim a few importantfiles, rather than tryingto reinstate
`your entire drive.

`
`Backup’sfile-restoring feature isn’t only useful when you've had to wipe out your
`hard drive completely. It can also be handy when something less drastic went
`wrong,like a folder accidentally being thrown out.All the rest of your files and
`folders are OK.
`But suppose you've indicated that you want your My Documentsfolder restored
`from the backup disks. What should Backup do whenit encountersfiles that are
`still in your My Documents folder, and in perfect shape? You can choose one of
`three options. Leave existing files means that Backup won'trestore anyfile that’s

`already on the hard drive. Replace existingfiles if they are older than the backup
`files makes Backupreplacea file on your harddrive onlyifit’s an older version than
`the backed-up copy. Finally, Replace existingfiles restores every file, replacingits
`equivalent on the harddrive, regardless of which is newer.
`
`6. Click Next.
`
`The options on this penultimate screen pertain to specialized security and system
`files.
`
`You'refree to click past them,butif curiosity gets the better of you, here’s what
`these three very technical options do.
`
`“Restore security settings” restores certain settings for each file and folder, includ-
`ing permissionsandfile ownership (see Chapter 17)—an option available only
`for files you backed up from a Windows XP, NTFS-formatted machine(andfiles
`that youre restoring to one).
`
`The second option is “Restore junction points, but not the folders andfile data
`they reference.” Here, Microsoft is talking about mounted drives. Turn this option
`on if you're restoring a mounteddrive; turnit off if you wantto restore only the
`folder containing the mounted drive.
`
`The third option, “Preserve existing volume mount points” requires that you
`understand volume mount points, described on page 490. Turn this option onif
`you wanit to restore data to a replacementdrive, on which you've restored volume
`mountpoints yourself. Turn it offifyoure restoring data to a reformattedpartition
`or drive, and wantto restore the old volume mountpoints from the backup.

`
`The Briefcase
`
`In its way, the Briefcase is a form of backup program,butfor a very specific purpose:
`It’s designed to help you keep your files straightwhenyoutransport them from desktop
`to laptop, or from hometo work.Ifyoulearn to use the Briefcase, you'll belesslikely
`to lose track of which copies of your documents are the most current.
`
`To use the Briefcase, start by addinga briefcase icon on your desktop. To doso,right-
`click any spot on the desktop; from the shortcut menu, choose New—»Briefcase. A
`new icon appears, called New Briefcase. (If you're feeling inspired, renameit as you
`would any folder.)
`
`Now round upthe icons of the documents you'll work on when away from your
`main PC. Drag them onto the My Briefcase icon. Windows XP copiesthefiles into
`this special temporary holding tank.
`Nowconnect your laptop to the desktop PC, if you haven’t already. (See Chapter 18
`for tips on connecting machines.) Or, if you plan to take your files with you on a
`disk (such as a floppy or Zip disk), insert the disk. Drag the My Briefcase icon onto
`the laptopor the disk.
`
`You're ready to leave your office. When youget to wherever you're going, open and
`edit the documents in the copied Briefcase “folder” icon. Just don’t move them.
`
`Whenyoureturn to your main PC, reconnect the laptopor reinsert the travel disk.
`Nowall of your careful step-following is about to pay off. Open the disk or laptop
`window and double-click its My Briefcase icon. In the Briefcase window,click the
`“Updateall items”link in the task pane. Windowscopiesthe editedfiles back to their
`original folders on your desktop-PC hard drive, automaticallyreplacing the older,
`original copies. (If you highlighted only someof the icons in the Briefcase window,
`you can insteadclick“Update the selected items.”Windowscopies only the highlighted
`icons back to the main PC.)

`Safe Mode and the Startup Menu
`PC troubleshootingis amongthe mostdifficult propositions on earth, in part because
`your machine has so many cooks. Microsoft made the operating system, another
`company made the computer, and dozensof others contributed the programs you
`use every day. The numberofconflicts that can arise and the numberofproblems you
`may encounterare nearlyinfinite. That’s why, ifyou were smart, you bought your PC
`from a companythatoffersa toll-free, 24-hour help line forlife. You may needit.
`
`If the problems you're having are caused by drivers that load just as the computeris
`starting up, turning them all off can be helpful, at least so that you can get into your

`
`your mouse, keyboard,screen, and disk drives. Everything else is shut down and
`cut off. In short, Safe Modeisthetactic to take ifyour PC won't start up normally,
`thanks to somerecalcitrant driver.
`Once you've selected the Safe Mode option on the Startup menu, Windowsasks
`which operating system you want to run—for most people, Windows XP Profes-
`sional is the only choice,so just press Enter. Now youseea list,filling your screen,
`of every driver that Windowsis loading. Eventually, you'll be asked to log in; a
`dialog box then appears, reminding youthat you are in Safe Mode.
`This dialog box offers two useful buttons. Yes proceeds with the startup process,
`taking you to the Windowsdesktop. Clicking No takes you directly to the System
`Restore screen shown in Figure 16-2, so that you can choose a date when your
`computer was running properly—andrewindto that happier time.
`You'll probably discover that your screen looks like it was designed by drunken
`cave men, with jagged and awful graphics and text. That’s because in Safe Mode,
`Windowsdoesn’t loadthe driver for your video card.(It avoids that driver, on the
`assumptionthatit maybe causingthe veryproblem you'retryingto troubleshoot.)
`Instead, Windows XP loads a crude, generic driver that works with any video
`card.
`
`Tip: Note, by the way, how fast Windowsis in this mode—atestimonyto the dragging effect ofall those
`modern graphic niceties.
`
`The purpose of Safe Modeis to help you troubleshoot.If you discover that the
`problemyou've beenhavingis now gone,you've atleast established that the culprit
`is one of the drivers that Windowshas now turned off. Safe Modealso gives you
`full access to the technical tools ofWindows XP,including System Restore (page
`475), the Device Manager (page 449), the Registry Editor (page 662), Microsoft
`Backup (page 497), and the Help center. You might use the Device Manager, for
`example,to roll back a driver that you just updated (page 453), or System Restore
`to undo someotherinstallation that seemsto have thrown your PCinto chaos.
`If this procedure doesn’t solve the problem, contact a support technician.
`Safe Mode with Networking. This optionis exactly the same as Safe Mode, except
`thatit also lets you load thedriver software neededto tap into the network,ifyoure
`on one—an arrangementthatoffers a few additional troubleshootingpossibilities,
`like being able to accessfiles and drivers on another PC.(Ifyou havea laptop that
`uses a PC-Card networkingcard, however, this optionstill may not help you,since
`the PC-Card driveritself is still turned off.)
`
`Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Here’s another variation of safe mode,this
`one intended for ultra-power users who are more comfortable typing out text
`commandsat the command prompt(page 33) than using icons, menus, and the

`
`Mostof the time, you'll use the Boot Logging option only at the request of a sup-

`startup, the technician may ask youto openntbtlog.txt in your Notepad program
`and search for particular words or phrases—usually the word“fail”
`
`Enable VGA Mode.In this mode, your PC uses a standard VGA video driver that
`works withall graphics cards, instead of the hideously ugly generic one usually
`seen in Safe Mode. Use this option when you're troubleshooting video-display
`problems—problems that you are confident have less to do with drivers than
`with your settings in the Display control panel (which you're now ready to fiddle
`with).
`
`Last Known Good Configuration. Here’s yet another method of resetting the
`clock to a time when your PC was workingcorrectly, in effect undoing whatever
`configuration change you made that triggered your PC’s current problems.It
`reinstates whichever set of drivers, and whichever Registry configuration, wasin
`force the last time the PC was working right. (This option isn’t as effective as the

`
`introducing User Accounts
`Like the Windows 2000 underits skin, WindowsXP is designed from the ground up
`to be a multiple-user operating system. On a Windows XP machine, anyone whouses
`the computer must log on—click (or type) your name and type in a password—when
`the computer turns on. And upon doingso, you discover the Windowsuniverse just
`as youleft it, including these elements:
`
`* Desktop. Each person sees his own shortcuticons,folder icons, and otherstuff left
`out on the desktop.
`
`* Start menu.If you reorganize the Start menu,as described in Chapter 1, you won't
`confuse anybody else who uses the machine. No oneelse can evensee the changes
`you make.
`
` * My Documents folder. Each person sees only her own stuff in the My Documents

`
`- Favorites folder. AnyWeb sites, folders,or other icons you've designated as Favorites
`appear in your Favorites menu, and nobodyelse’s.
`+ Internet cache. You can read about cached Web pages in Chapter 11. This folder
`stores a copy of the Web pages you've visited recently for fasterretrieval.
`- History and cookies. Windows maintainsa list of recently visited Web sites in-
`dependently for each person;likewise a personal collection of cookies (Web site
`preferencefiles).
`* Control Panelsettings. Windows memorizes the preferences each person establishes
`using the Control Panel (see Chapter 8), including keyboard, sound, screen saver,
`and mouse settings.
`* Privileges. Your user account also determines what you're allowed to do on the
`network and even on your own computer: which files and folders you can open,
`which settings you can change in the Control Panel, and even which files and
`folders you can open.
`en
`Tip: Behind the scenes, WindowsXPstores aifof these files andsettings in a single folder that techiescalyour
`user profile. It’s in your My Computer—>Local Disk (C:)}—»Documents and Settings—[Your Name] folder.neits
`
`
`
`
`
`This feature makes sharing the PC much more convenient, because you don’t have
`to look at everybodyelse’s files (and endure their desktop design schemes). It also
`adds a layer of security, makingit less likely for a marauding six-year-old to throw
`away yourfiles.
`
`a T
`
`ip: Even if you don’t share your PC with anyone and don't create any other acceunts, you mightstill ap-
`preciate this feature because it effectively password-protects the entire computer. Your PC is protected from
`unauthorized fiddling when you're awayfrom your desk (or whenyourlaptop is stolen)—especially if you tell
`Windowsto require your logon password any time after the screen saver has kicked in (page 269).
`
`Since the dayyoufirst installed WindowsXP orfired up a newWindows XP machine,
`you may have made a numberof changes to your desktop—tiddled with your Start
`menu, changed the desktop wallpaper, added some favorites to your Web browser,
`downloaded files onto your desktop, and so on—withoutrealizing that you were
`actually making these changes only to your account.
`Accordingly, if you create an account for a second person, when she turns on the
`computer and signsin, she’ll find the desktop exactly the way it was as factory in-
`stalled by Microsoft: basic Start menu, Teletubbies-hillside desktop picture, default
`Web browser homepage, and so on. She can make the same kinds of changesto the
`PC that you've made, but nothingshe doeswill affect your environmentthe next time
`you log on. You'll still find the desktop the way youleft it: your desktop picturefills
`the screen, the Web browserlists your bookmarks, and so on.
