I am new to the forum and not very computer savvy. I only use it to write. In the interest of keeping files up to date someone told me I could use a sync command and thumb drive to keep my stories up to date.
I went to the control center and clicked on Sync. followed the procedure to form a partnership and the thumb drive is shown, but it wants to partner with music files and I can't directed it to My Documents>writing. I hope someone can help and I apologize if I am asking in the wrong place.

I am using Vista home premium on a laptop (Sony if it makes a difference) and Windows Office 2007.
 
What else do you backup?

I looked at the Sync Center on Windows 7 and it is only designed to setup sync partnerships for network shares and files. There is another feature called Device Stage (in Windows 7) that is for syncing music, pictures and other media other than documents. FYI: I know you have Vista but certain features like this should be very similar. An excerpt from Windows 7 help:

"There are two primary ways to sync a mobile phone, portable music player, or other mobile device with your computer. You can install the sync software that many manufacturers include with their devices, or you can use the new Device Stage feature in this version of Windows if your device supports this feature....To see which types of files and information you can sync with your device, connect the device to your computer. If your device is compatible with Device Stage, this feature will open automatically."

In summary, I do not believe that this is going to do what you want. So that we may get a better idea of your specific backup needs in order to recommend the best solution, can you please tell us whether or not there is anything else that you would ever backup besides a few text related documents?

Thanks!
