[dba-Tech] Three Questions (Multi-Boot, Partitions and Smart Backup)

OS = Windows 7 Ultimate

With Multi-boot setup



1. I cannot figure out what file controls the multi-boot menu. I want to
switch the defaults around. Please advise.



2. In the old days, I used to use Partition Magic to control my disks and
partitions. The version I have does not recognize the new world, it appears.
I have a couple of now-irrelevant partitions that I would like to dissolve
and merge into other partitions. Any suggestions?



3. Back in the day, there was a program called JET, included IIRC with a
card I bought from Pioneer Technologies; a command-line program that did
truly fantastic file-copy things, for example, "copy all files that either
were changed today or created today, to the designated drive". In this
modern world, I cannot figure out how to achieve this. Here's what I want to
do:



3a: mark everything new (changed or new) on all drives;

3b: create a RAR file containing all these files;

3c: burn a CD or DVD containing these files;

3d: do this every night at 11:59pm.



I will take care of ensuring that a CD or DVD is in the burner prior to the
designated time. The rest I want to occur automagically.



All suggestions gratefully appreciated.



TIA,

Arthur
