I have a 17" MBP with Windows 7 x64. When I originally partitioned my SSD, I made the Windows partition too small. It's been working fine for 2 months but figured now would be an easier time to fix rather than waiting. I used the backup software included with 7. I made sure to backup all the files rather than letting Windows choose.

However, when I went to restore all of my files, none of the programs restored (Office, some work programs I use, etc). I hope I don't have to do this ever again, but just in case, did I miss something when choosing what to backup? Or is there better backup software that would copy everything so I could just restore without having to reinstall everything (including printers)?

Thanks for the help!
