[nfbcs] Ken a blind person use Windows backup? And can someone restore the data while using a screen reader? Or should I use something else?

There are a couple of points here.

1.	If you are going to use the external drive on any other computer, a fat32 would be best. It also depends on the size of some of the files you plan to store there.
2.	I recommend backing up your data and then doing a full system restore. That is, a clean restore. This will effectively remove any problems you are encountering.
3.	On the reboot, you can utilize the narrator to reset your windows. The only problem is knowing when to press ctrl-windows-enter.

Good luck.

Subject: [nfbcs] Ken a blind person use Windows backup? And can someone restore the data while using a screen reader? Or should I use something else?

Good morning the subject line pretty much says what I am trying to achieve here. Long story short I just want to back up the windows portion of my computer. But I am a little bit nervous about the Windows backup utility because I’m wondering if it is going to be usable with a screen reader? And then of course should I need to restore the data, can I still use a screen reader to do the? If the Microsoft default tool isn’t that great to use, then what tool is recommended for this purpose. If I do need to use another tool, i.e. software here, what package what people recommend?

PS this data needs to go to in an external drive. Can the  be set up for any file system? In other words if it required to be either fat 32 or NTFS?
