I've used VV for backing up to many external USB drives without a problem. I never use C:\Users\..... for my data as Windows makes it a real mess, without any logical order. I use C:\DATA - This, C:DATA - That, C:\DATA - etc. So everything in sensible order.

However, many programs "hide" certain files under C:\Users\...

So I thought I would use VV on these folders. Then I would be able to know where programs had hidden new files at every run of VV.

The problem is that I get errors and no backing up.

Is this a Windows 7 Pro problem or do I need to do something special in VV?

Hi, what error message are you getting? Maybe try running ViceVersa "elevated" as administrator, i.e. right click on ViceVersa and select "run as administrator", thanks

This was the main problem. But a few files won't copy as in use by another program. I can live with that.

Many thanks.

Many thanks. That solved the second problem with VSS.
