I would really like to see Windows Backup able to create mulitple backup sets, and able to schedule them at various times. For example: I would really like to have schedule a daily backup to one location, and a weekly backup to another location.

Not sure why it was felt Windows 7 should only allow a single backup, but it is really limiting.

Thank you -- Mark

windows 8 Dev Pre has doesn't satisfied me too much because Microsoft has only done few changes to WIN 7 do develop windows 8 . Meanwhile a large change in features improvement was seen at the time only when Microsoft windows moved from xp to vista . then Microsoft has done poor works just developed WIN 7 with few features improvement only because vista has failed gaining popularity on pcs . Now same thing for windows 8

Microsoft should take a look at apple and their improvements for Mac OS X. take look at here is an application program made my Samsung www.samsung.com/.../pcsw

which does same work as a macs airdrop does en.wikipedia.org/.../AirDrop_%28OS_X%29

So Microsoft should take the copyright`s or source code or logic behind the useful apps made by their partner O E M like HP ,DELL , Samsung, Acer , and much more and invent them to windows 8 . then windows may have great value and popularity over Mac or Linux

By the way, Vung, it would help if you would provide some details. I don't quite know what you mean. What kind of PC are you installing it on, and how is it acting? I'm not with the development team, but I'd be glad to try to help. I try to hunt down glitches the developers might have missed. WDP is an early stage in development, but it's best they know about any issues as soon as they arise.

To the development team, I don't know if you guys spent much time testing WDP in multi-boot situations, but you may want to look into it. In my case, my PC was already dual-booting XP and 7, with a separate partition I use for storage and backup. The partition table was winXP-0, win7-1, and storage-2. I resized the storage partition to create free space to install WDP. This all worked out fine, but when I set WDP to give me boot options for 5 seconds before booting the default, it doesn't give XP as an option. I imagine you intended it that way, but I don't like it. If I set WDP to boot Earlier Version of Windows by default, I get the win7 boot menu at power on, which gives me all 3 options. However, at times on startup, and with no rhyme or reason, it skips that menu, goes straight to WDP's boot menu which shows WDP and win7, and after 5 seconds it proceeds to restart the PC and start XP with no option screen. I like the graphical boot menu in WDP, but why couldn't it have just overwritten the win7 MBR, and gave the option to boot XP as well, instead of starting a Battle of the Boot Records?

I tried to install WDP in my PC, however, my screen cannot control brightness. And I do everything, but it's not helpful when I restart my PC. I need a help from you.
