As I’m getting a new PC, I’m also getting an external HD (thinking about Seagate FreeAgent 320GB , just as big as the HD in my new PC).
So I was wondering what software you would recommend for backing up my files, I’d like to automatically create back-ups on a weekly basis.
And, perhaps, to create a HD image.
Any tips for backing stuff up when using an external HD?
I use Acronis True Image 10. As disk-imaging software, it takes a ‘snapshot’ of any of your HDs (including the OS, of course) and also does incremental & differential backups. The software is fairly inexpensive & easy to use. It can also backup & restore any Linux partitions on your system.
If its a win XP Pro…Backup software comes inside…u will find it under Start > Programs > Accessoris > system tools > Backup… you can shedule nd do lots of stuff.
I havent used VISTA yet so cant tell you if this function is availabe in it or not.
