Hey. New board.
I just bought a 1 TB external hard drive and plugged it into my Airport Extreme Base Station with 2 partitions (350 GB of HFS+ for laptop Time Machine backups and 600 GB of FAT32 for Improbable Girl's backups and media server duties for when I get my LG BD390 in sometime later this year).
Time Machine is working beautifully.
What do you recommend for simple backup solutions on Windows? Ideally, it would back up everything incrementally, similar to Time Machine, since there's plenty of space.

SyncToy isn't bad, and it's free: [link]

One of my purchased iPod games has started closing when I open it. If I delete it from the iTouch, will a sync bring it back?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I would try rebooting the iPod first.

Alas, I already did that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Theo, yes - if you delete it, it'll come back when you sync again.

long shot question here. My old, pre-color iPod click wheel (I think 4th gen, last one before color came out) 40 GB iPod. Well. It's center button doesn't seem to depress anymore. Or maybe its stuck in the depressed mode. Aside from pharmaceuticals that the iPod can't ingest, any suggestions? Or should I take it to the genius bar to hear them say "oh, you should just upgrade".

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I use Memeo's AutoBackup for Windows on my Linkstation. I think it's pretty good, although it does have the one weird bit where if you delete a file, it will assume you want it deleted off the backup, too. Buh?
Other than that, it's worked well and we have had to use it to restore, and it was successful.

Hey. New board.
Synctoy worked great with the network drive formatted as HFS+. Not so much when it was FAT32. If ever we need to access the data directly from the PC that will be annoying, but it works so whatever.
