Many files are not backed up, and dangerously it leads you to believe that the backup was successful! I have just learnt from this forum that it doesn't do .exe and other files! Home Premium doesn't even do complete backups. It is not up to the job of trying to be a professional operating system. A basic requirement of an operating system for the past 50 years has been the task of backing up (& restore if ever needed). Without this it should not even be released to Beta Testing. It is not "fit for purpose" (a legal consumer phrase in the UK) and you should get your money back from the supplier. Backup and Restore, put simply, just doesn’t work on Vista Home Premium.

I don't see the "complete PC backup, and I have the admin rights to my computer. So why don't I see that "complete pc backup" feature? Is it because I created my recovery disks already after I Bought my computer? I was under the impression that "complete pc backup" feature would always be available.

When I run the utility from command line without arguments (e.g c:\sdctl.exe) the utility is executed successfully, but when I try to run the utility with arguments (e.g c:\sdclt.exe /configure, c:\sdclt.exe /kickoffjob) the message is shown: "You do not have permission to execute this task. Verify the system security configurations. (0x81000010) " If I run command line prompt as administrator, the error does not occurs. But, I need run the utility with arguments as a standard user not as a administrator. Do you know how can I fix this error? Hi Eric,

If I run command line prompt as administrator, the error does not occurs. But, I need run the utility with arguments as a standard user not as a administrator.

Do you know how can I fix this error?
