Currently backing up to a separate drive, having ordered a Windows 7 instal. All going great, but it does look like we have everything saved 4 or 5 times on the current PC set up?
Anyhow, I will soon have saved all docs, pictures and music, together with desktop, start up, local settings and programs.
When I re-instal, I want to be selective on what I put back so as not to clog up the new OS.
I was wondering. Wife will kill me if I lose her iTunes, but I cannot see a folder. I believe iTunes works more as a linking, but want to be sure please there is nothing I should be looking for?
Ta very much.
