File backup software required...

sunkenvilla

Hello.

I have recently purchased a new HP PC which came with an integrated removable hard drive. I purchased it primarily for this reason as I wanted the ability to do instant backup onto a drive that I can take with me to other PC's.

Now to my problem, the provided software only allows for scheduled backup or one offs. I would like to know if anyone knows of a backup utility or program that can make backups 'on the go' as I am adding or changing files. I have had a look for myself on the net but there are just so many programs and utilities available I did not know where to start. Is this function even possible?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

MIcro$oft do an excellent free utility for backing up files which is available from their website.

Its called SyncToy & you set it to synchronise/copy etc to any other file.

Mine is set to synchronise My Docs to my second hard drive but it has numerous options about what you copy/sync & where to.
