Hi:)



I'm looking for software to do scheduled backups with but that has more features than the windows internal backup tool



should still be easy to configure though!



any recommendations would be greatly appreciated:), thx!

when I was shopping around for a backup utility a couple of months ago I looked into different apps and finally settled on norton ghost. I've had it running for a while now and it works nicely. I didn't have any data loss but tried the backup/restore routine anyway, to see if it works and it does. So, if I have a hard drive crash, I'll at least get all my data back up to the point of the last backup I did;).

Try here, www.xuis.com - A really good schedule product, also UltraBac which is a good backup product.

I use Acronis True Image to back up my HDD.

It has build-in scheduler, and it has more futures then Windows backup solution.

Except original creating full hard disk image, it has new file-based backup option which enables you to backup and restore individual files and folders, like your My Documents folder or a specific file, like your latest tax return. A software wizard walks you through all of the steps.

Plus it makes differential backups capture the changes made since your last full backup.

By the way, its user-friendly interface amazed me.

Thanks very much for your help. I have one more question. Does anyone use Norton Save & Restore? It sounds very interesting. But what is the difference between Norton Save & Restore and Norton Ghost?

I'm using S & R, it's basically an improved version of Ghost. It does lal the same things Ghost does, on top of which it is able to make backups of individual files and folders.



Other features tap into this, like the ability to restore just single files in case you deleted something, etc.



And, yes, you can still schedule backups.

Brilliant!



So I checked it and bought it, and yes, I can schedule backups!



Right now that's all I do - scheduled backups of all my important files. Oh yes, I did do one full backup, but it takes too many CDs to do that a lot. I will find out how many CDs it is if I only save whatever has changed since the last backup, though.

I think recovery software is much more useful than backup software. Like EAZFIX, you can configure EAZFIX to take snapshots automatically. Each snapshot is the entire system's current state. If your data goet lost, you can easily restore data by restoring the system to a previous snapshot. Besides, it can also recover system to a healthy state after system crash or virus attack.
