Good evening,
It seems that my computer has come down with a case of Vundo, of the variety that resurrects itself from an intransigent AppInit_DLLs registry key. Since I use my computer for financial transactions, I have decided that a wipe is in order.
I keep a backup of my files on a separate thumb drive. My last backup was about a week ago, but I have been working since then. I would prefer to get a current backup, if that is possible to do without corrupting my backup drive.
I currently use SyncBack from 2BrightSparks to sync my computer and backup drive. I do not sync any system folders.... I sync the My Documents folder, my IE and Firefox Favorites, and other folders that I created myself.
Will my normal sync process allow me to make a clean backup? If not, is there some other program/process I can use to make a clean backup? Once the backup is complete, is there a way to check the backup drive to confirm that it is clean (I can do this on another computer, if needed)?
Thanks!
Shelli
