Backup Windows 7 XP Mode data
I'm running Windows 7 Premium-64 bit with XP Mode installed. Using Acronis True Image Home 2010, how do I back up data files created in XP Mode?
Thanks!

Thanks, Mark. However...
I do have a file called "Windows XP Mode base.vhd" in my Program Files/Windows XP Mode folder (the only .vhd file on my system). It is 1.1 GB in size, but is dated 9/12/09. I've created a lot of data in XP mode apps during the last couple of months that I've owned this system. Shouldn't the .vhd file be dated as of the most recent such creation/update of data if it contains that data?

Jim:
You're probably using differencing disks then. With differencing disks the base XP installation is in the file Windows XP Mode base.vhd and never changes. Anything written to disk later goes into another file that contains only changes to your base XP mode installation. Look for files dated recently with the extension .vcmx to find your recent data.
Here are two references that explain differencing disks in Windows Virtual PC:
