Windows 7 and filePro 5.6 installation

[Nancy Palmquist]

Mine supports it beautifully.

Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz
64-bit
With Windows 7 Ultimate.

I am finding it stable and fast.  I like it.  I am even finding the 
changes to Windows rather better in many cases than I have seen in other 
upgrades.  Still have to get a backup solution, but I keep getting more 
of the functions added each day, as I have time.

I have had lousy luck with many of the backup software for WindowsXP.  I 
will have to see what is supported by Windows7 for a reliable backup method.

Acronis would not work on my old machine.  I tried to work with their 
tech support but after a month, I gave up and uninstalled it.  I think 
some months later I had a hard drive issue, which I think was what keep 
Acronis from working.  Although the error message was not clear.

Retrospect was nice because it let me make a duplicate of a drive.  I 
like this format, because I can roll around and grab things from an 
older version.  But it would stop running for no reason, sometimes.  I 
found that a bit of an issue.  I was also very confused by way it kept 
the real backups, in volumes and stuff.  Pretty proprietary, if you need 
the stuff and the new computer does not run retrospect.  That always 
worried me.  I want something less proprietary, I think.

Any suggestions?
