back up software

carolwat

Hi

Im looking for some software that will back up for me. I have a laptop which I keep everything on and then I have 2 external hard drives which I also copy over onto everything I want to keep. I have 2 because I recently lost everything when my external hard drive failed. At the moment I am simply copying and pasting everything over manually but its time consuming. I want something that will copy the files and folders from one drive to another automatically. I dont want a recovery disk as I dont need windows software on it, its purely for files and folders in my documents. Can anyone recommend anything please?

having a way to recover windows is very useful

use the differential backup method, it's fast

If you just want to back up personal stuff.
I use Syncbackfree, set up profiles of folders etc, group profiles together etc, manual start or scheduled.
It has been totally reliable for me.
