Ok a reboot sorted it up and running again.

yes its XP sp3

Back UP
most confusing click on finacial and it loaded a lot of picture files
click pictures - it loaded favourites
as did music
none of the entries were correct.

but at least it backed them up to where I told it to.

I've already used the back up and for me it's an easy layout, straight forward and quick, backs up to every thing I use and this version appears quicker than version 3.

Only problem is that for some people it just isn't complete, thorough enough?, might not have picked correct words but hope you know what I mean.

Norton need to make it appeal to more people so, polish it up make it shine out more so those users will look at it and say "that is what I want"

Ran a simple backup of Music and it was effective including all playlists as well. Irritatingly the "Default Set" should have been removed first before selecting just Music because now I have Norton Backup Status layers on top of my normal file icons. These make the original icons much more difficult to recognise at a glance - if I`m looking for an Excel icon the overlay masks it slightly. (You can turn this feature off though!)

I use Acronis True Image and backup and retrieval of individual files is much simpler. I shan`t use this feature much but I suppose that the inclusion of Norton Backup in 360 will save others money.

I have tried it and didn't like it. Although it may back up the files without problems I could not view a file without restoring it.
