Title: Back-up Software
Post by: Gloamglozer on January 14, 2010, 07:48:33 pm
I was just wondering, besides Acronis, what other good back-up software are available?  There are many but I'm not sure which one(s) I should be looking at.

I use Time Machine for Mac, but I don't know if you use Mac or not...

I'm using Windows Vista for one laptop and Windows 7 for another two laptops.

Soz, I don't know a lot about Windows back-up programs, I just do it manually on my laptop.

I don't think that would be Dungeons and Dragons so maybe you're referring to this?

I was going to but I don't trust a lot of Microsoft products, like their firewall.  Even though I'm using Windows lol

I tried the Windows 7 version and I had to give up before it finished. I swear that progress bar did not move. I use Mozy for online backups and Syncback to backup to my external HDD
