Need simple backup software....


Question

Hey folks,

I am just looking for simple backup software that will allow me to automate the process of backing up files that have 'changed' (ie, differential/incremental backups). If there's a free utility that does this, it woudl be great. I am NOT looking to compress anything... I want it stored exactly as I've got it now, so I can take the USB hard drive and run around with it :)

Thanks for any help! :)

Breifcase folders will do the trick for copying over your folders. Do a google search on using breifcase in windows. I do this for my USB thumb drive. Makes everything match up from my computer to the usb drive. Especially useful if you use multiple computers to modify a file. It will go both ways. If one is modified, it will update both drives to have the most recent, and if one has one that the other doesn't it'll copy it over for you.

I've been using windows since 3.1, and i never used breifcase nor knew what it did until i bought my 1gb thumb drive.

Hello,

I've been using Acronis True Image for long time. So, I must say it's the easiest backup software I've ever seen.

It creates incremental and differential backups. I always keep my backups files on external HDD.

To my experience, I recommend this program as time tested solution.

It's really very convenient!

    • Garmin Dash Cam X310: 4K dash cam on sale at lowest price for $334.99 by Paul Hill Dash cam footage can be vital for drivers who get into accidents as it can be used to help with insurance claims if you’re involved in an accident, outside of that, it can be used for filming your trips or recording freak events such as asteroids burning up in the atmosphere. If you’re still without one, or looking to upgrade, take a moment to read about the Garmin Dash Cam X310 which has been reduced by 16% from $399.99 to $334.99. To briefly touch on the features before we get started, the X310 is a compact 4K Ultra HD touchscreen dash cam with a 140-degree field of view, ensuring it captures everything. There’s also a built-in Clarity Polarizer to reduce glare from the windshield and it features automatic recording. The main attraction of the Garmin Dash Cam X310 is undoubtedly the 4K Ultra HD video which will capture fine details, and the 140-degree field of view that ensures it doesn’t miss anything important. Coupled with this, the Clarity Polarizer helps to reduce glare from the windshield so that your video footage is better. It also includes HDR which improves the night vision. Aside from having a touchscreen, the X310 comes with voice control allowing you to save video and audio hands-free, meaning you can focus on driving. It supports multiple languages - English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Swedish. Other features include built-in GPS for recording the location, date, and time of incidents; parking guard and live view for security while parked (required a paid Vault subscription); and its compact design which allows it to sit “virtually unnoticed” on the windshield. Please note that the product description says some jurisdictions may restrict the use of dashcams, so check your local laws before buying. If you are looking for a high-resolution dash cam with voice control and advanced parking surveillance (paid subscription), the X310 could be for you. The main downside of this product is that it’s still at a premium price point, despite it being at its lowest price on Amazon. If you don’t mind this, it could definitely be a great choice for you. Garmin Dash Cam X310: $334.99 (Amazon US) / MSRP $399.99 This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I have a Motorola B12, and it's been working pretty solidly for a year now. 
    • yes, which is especially funny considering you no longer have an option to turn them off, so how could this matter to anyone? It would be pretty evil if they waited until after Windows 10 EOL to renew the certs, but based on these dates, it looks like that wouldn't be possible, so no worries that I can see.
    • A Unifi Dream Machine Pro SE an option?  or a little too complex?
    • I think they needed to simplify their product lines, having such a range of devices is confusing at best, and yes, I think it's also worth dropping those old line names. So I think it's good for them in the long run, and I bet they found that in their research too. Ask a random consumer which of their products would have been the premium one, and unless they knew Dell products intimately, I doubt they would know. Though I think they could have simplified it further.. "Pro Max Plus", what the hell is going on there?!
