Title: What file backup software do you use? (Windows)
Post by: JB on Jul 12, 2009, 10:09:03
For HD partition backup I use Acronis TI Home V10 and am happy with that. For a scheduled daily backup of things like email, pictures and docs I use a program called SecondCopy. I have used it for years. It will do a scheduled backup and has a variety of choices as to how the resulting backup will appear, such as zip or no zip, files replaced or updated etc etc..

I am finding the operation of SecondCopy a bit slow now and was just interested to know what software other members are using to back up their day to day files? System is running WinXP 32bit.

Thanks.

Windows Home Server  ;D It backs up all my PC's each day automatically as long as they are switched on, it can be configured to power on a PC and take a back up.

SyncBack, SyncToy and Karen's Replicator - they all do slightly different jobs.

I always used Memeo as it's an automatic backup in real-time.

I use Vista Backup but onto a separate HDD (as well as XP backup) kept just for backups as well as Windows Home Server onto a separate server.
