Windows Onecare Backups with Windows 7

Question

I've got 4 months of Windows Onecare Backup files from a Vista installation. I've upgraded the computer to Windows 7 (and uninstalled Onecare since it's not compatible) and I'm now just using Windows Backup.

Are the Onecare backups worth keeping around? The format looks close (directory structure, etc) but if I can't just open them with Windows Backup I'm not really interested.

Answer 1

It appears that it's possible but kinda painful:

Have to open the archive with a 3rd party program (7zip, etc) and get the files out. I may just delete the set.
