Automatic backup scheduling software

[Brawler]

Hi All.

Looking for software that will automaticly back up certain files or folders to a external drive. Anybody know any off hand ? preferably freeware.

Thanks

Even better. Windows has a built in one. I don't know what it's called (I use LiNuX), but its at Start-Programs-Accessorries-System Tools-Backup. You can set it there to backup to where ever whenever whatever.

I've just been researching some backup/partioning software. Acronis True Image 10 was given a good review. I'm not sure about scheduling.

Agreed, Acronis True Image Home is one of my favorite programs of all time. It has scheduling features as well. But it's not exactly cheap...

Cobian is great if you need to get files/folders.

Acronis is also good. There is a free version that you can use if you have a seagate harddrive in your machine. Its on the seagate website

Get MS Sync toy. Then add a scheduled task to run it automatically. Free solution works like a bomb.

Google is your friend if you don't know how to do this.

Going to try SyncToy with Scheduling 1st. Seems like a really easy option.

Comodo BackUp: http://www.comodo.com/products/free_products.html

It's free as is most of their other stuff. Haven't used the BackUP, but I rate their FireWall and BoClean.

try areca ... seems to be a good program so far .... and is free!

Try EZBack-it-up, very easy to use and is free. I have installed it at some clients who were looking for something basic, and it does what it says.
