Is there a tool or utility out there that would easily let me schedule a backup of my SharePoint Servives 3.0 databases? Right now I have them stored on a RAID1 drive array, but I'd like something more...especially if the server dies, I could load the software and restore the database to...

You're absolutely right, which is why people were so pissed off that you had to derail the thread with your "worshipping" comment, as opposed to sticking with the task at hand. If you do a simple trace back through this thread, it was completely on topic, with some excellent discussions until...

If you want to look to a root cause, look in the mirror. I tried being civil and asking for an end to the bickering. I sat right in the middle blaming both sides. However, you opened your mouth to criticize me, without knowing what you were talking about. Instead of realizing we were giving...

Are you serioues? I'm asking this honestly, are you serious? You thank me for being civil and then you post this mess? http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1031265084&postcount=8 http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1031265217&postcount=11...

I guess you didn't read closely what I said. Show me where I had a problem with telling someone to do their own research. Quite the contrary. My point of issue is in your need to take a shot at the people who are trying to be truthful about Vista, which is often mistaken for "Vista...

You also might have a hell of a time getting Tablet Edition installed on a desktop. You're CD key is only good for one installation at a time, so if the laptop is still in use, regardless of OS version you plan to use on the desktop, you'll need a new license.

It's actually rather simple: If connected to the internet at anytime, answer is yes. If no connection exists, it can't hurt.

The only reason Apple isn't a true monopoly, is because of their small percentage of market share. If you separate the PC market into Wintel and Apple, like it used to be, apple becomes more hienous that anything Microsoft has been able to do. What really scares me is the amount of people led...

This is getting out of hand, really. Why do you think some people have to defend Vista? I'll give one reason. To stop the spread of ridiculous information that is posted. There are legitimate criticisms of Vista, and they there's ignorant, false rants. Just because some people put effort...

It very well might boot fine, and run fine once you load new drivers, but most likely it would require you to reactivate. I'd prefer to wait until the new build was set, or load Vista64 within 30 days of when you will have the new build done. Vista gives you a 30 day trial without activating.

I could watch a typical movie from DVD on an old Omnibook 6000 laptop with a 6 cell battery. I couldn't make it through any of the Lord Of The Rings, mind you, but normal length movies are okay.

If you're only getting 90 minutes of watching a video clip on a laptop, it sounds like you need to start blaming the laptop. Either you have a piss-poor battery, one that's going bad, or just a very very small capacity one. Even power hungry laptops I've used in the past could easily get...

You boot from your XP CD and follow the options for a repair.

If I had one PC to backup, I'd probably go with a cage as well. I'm only using the server, because my wife is in school to be a web developer, and I can also play around with server admin tools, all while backing up two computers and a laptop to it.

5) Sounds like a video driver issue, not Vista. 6) It's supposed to be a memory whore, for good reasons. Why pay for 2 GB of memory, if you want to use as little as possible? Do people buy Ferrari's to see how little of their horsepower they are using?

If that was my system, I'd do this. I'd ditch one of the hard drives, either the 80 GB, or pull one of the PATA drives and stick it in an external cage, for backup purposes. Now, I'd find the fastest drive, and use that entire drive as my C partition, aka system volume. Then, I'd use one or...

I said that because I've been accused, not by you, in the past of making more work with my suggestions, in an attempt to simplify. However, if you give me a choice between changing system paths, or just simple creating a folder on my D drive, I'm always going to opt for the latter. It's not...

I had already run and used the FxVisor program, which seemed to do the trick, after logging out and then back in. As for the registry keys, I don't have those present in the system. I have the lnk and pif sections, with the word file in them, and I don't have an Internet Shortcut section...

I've been able to do this, if both partitions are considered primary. However, you would be doing yourself a great thing if you got a second hard drive, and used the 80 GB as your entire C drive. Then you could keep a copy of your Ghost image on the second physical drive, and also on DVD/USB...

Assuming you really did a full reformat, did you reload all of your drivers, starting with the chipset drivers? It's not much fo a help know, but you could have fixed that error using the recovery console and/or a quick repair install.

I've never heard of this issue either, as those personal data folders aren't included in the list of what's cleaned.

Thanks for the links on the styles....I was afraid that would be the only option. When I tried the above suggestions, I wasn't seeing the blue-ish color change at all. I'm definitely going to check out the links though, and see what kind of themes are available. I know bbz_Ghost has always...

You're right, it shouldn't be a big deal, but how many times do we see this happen, even across XP installs? I do understand that it's possible to point those folders over to another physical location, but even then it's more work than just storing them on a data drive already. I also like...

So then would it be safe to assume that I've never been able to recreate this issue because I don't use the My "Stuff" folders?

For future reference, wouldn't there have been two easy ways to avoid this problem? 1) Always use the same username and password combination on all of your installs. 2) Don't use the damn kiddie "My Blah Blah" folders. I've always stored data on a second drive/partition, and I have never...

I'm running Vista Ultimate x64, if that matters. Here are my two questions. I've searched for some answers, and either came up with no solutions, or non-working ones. 1) How do I change the "Selected Items" color for Appearances? It's at the default "baby blue" like color, and it's tough...

Yeah, I had reached the post count level, and got to choose a title. It was my nickname at a previous job.

No, to be honest, better planning is the only thing needed. If you plan the entire PC right from the very beginning, you shouldn't need a fan controller. Many people assume more fans are better, but they aren't usually needed. You just have to choose a case with good fan placement. Then, you...

You're boot times are as much a function of the BIOS and it's settings, as they are the hardware inside. I couldn't think of a worse waste of effort that building a system around boot times. Unless you did something wrong, all fairly recent systems will boot in an acceptable time. Worry about...

I might be going to far into the simplisitc realm, but if you know the file type, and you have the Adobe products installed, you should just be able to add the appriopriate file extension to each file, and then open them as windows files in the Adobe products.

StarCraft should run fine. Before you consider making any changes, research the driver availability to make sure you have the drivers you need.

I actually did a Google search, and some of my results for "Switcher" scared the bejesus out of me. Thanks for the link.

What is this Switcher you speak of?

I'm not sure how you'd use the DriveImage program. I only suggested the BartPE program because it works will with Ghost. I would read up on DriveImage XXL and see how it's suggested to be used. It might be able to be run in DOS, which would only need a bootable CD or USB Flash Drive.

Maybe it's because the "fanboys" get sick and tired of dealing with people who think Vista is just a visual upgrade, and therefore "has nothing to offer them"? The only people who are frustrated and rolling their eyes, are the ones who have to deal with comments like yours, where you've clearly...

In my opinion, I'd leave Vista Basic on there, especially if they plan to keep this computer for quite some time. For what they do, aka, the basics, Vista will be just fine for them.

Why am I not surprised you had an answer? I've been using their free product, and overlooked the features of the pay version. That does seem to do what I want.

That would work, but then you'll be left with a system using some other later than C for your system volume. Backup the data on partition 2 of disk 1 to the second physical drive. Shut down the computer and disconnect disk 2. Now, wipe disk 1 clean and install Windows. Once you have...

More info is always helpful, especially if you want a detailed answer. However, the first thing I'd try is booting to safe mode and removing the driver.
