Looking for Back up software advice


Recommended Posts

Hi Community

 

I',m looking for some advice on free back up software that is simple to use (scheduled and low resource hog) for my inlaws laptop. The drive that the back up will be connecting to is on their network and accessible wirelessly only. Windows own backup software can't connect to a network drive from their version of windows.

 

Any recommendations?

 

Thanks

Great software. Over the network should be fine. If in the future you would want to use it to backup to an external drive connected to the computer with the bacup software installed I would then recommend buying the program to support drive names instead of drive letters.

But, for just a nice static network location, you should be just fine with the free version.
