0 farmeunit Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Cobian Backup. You can make jobs, then have them run automatically, or manually. As sc302, there is the Windows Backup, but not sure if you can manually run that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jesseinsf Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 if you just want to back up certain files/folders that you choose at a time you want then just do it manually by copying over the old back up. otherwise use the windows 7 backup utility. it allows you to backup folders you choose and you can choose when to back it up.I move all my personal folder over to another HDD. You can also do this by making another partition and move all your personal folders to the new partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
