Backup Assistant - how to backup my iTunes 10.4 and Outlook from multiple PCs to WD NAS
I have 1 Windows 7 64-bit, 1 Windows 7 32-bit running on notebooks and one Windows 7 Pro 64-bit running Fusion 3.1.3 on Macbook Pro OS X Lion. I have a WD 1TB NAS.
I want to set up Acrois True Image Home 2011 (just updated), so that all the Windows including iTunes (current version 10.4) and MS Outlook 2007 are securely backup (Non-Stop) and able to restore seamlessly, in case the notebook/macbook hard drives crash.
When I enter Acronis Backup Assistant, it asks me "What do you want to back up?" with 3 options: My Computer, Files and Folders, or Email. What should I choose?

Ivan,
If you have an all-partition backup of your disks where C:\users\username\AppData and your iTunes music library is, you have the necessary backup to restore your disk and/or your outlook email or iTunes files. You can select folders within AppData to be more precise:
- outlook files are in appdata\roaming\microsoft\outlook,
- the iTunes library file is in the select Media Library folder (iTunes preferences)
- any firmware backup is in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
You might want to consider backing up your windows live photo gallery files (they are in the folder there as well as in Windows Photo Gallery, where Live stores the originals of the pictures you modify with Live Photo Gallery), and/or your Live Mails folders, etc.
For your Fusion Windows, however, you need a file backup, because a disk and partition backup won't work.
