Back up software

[arkansasbowhunter]

hello all, I searched for quite a bit and decided on a seagate external HD 500g's. What I couldn't find much of is what kind of software do you use to back up everything with. My dad has acronis true Image 11 home. I don't know much about it so any help appreciated. Any other suggestions?

You might also try Synctoy from Microsoft. Works pretty easily for a Microsoft product. Free from their website.

Karen's Replicator

Automatically backup files, directories, even entire drives! Karen's Replicator copies selected files from one drive/folder to another. Source and Destination folders can reside anywhere on your network.

Options include repeated copies at intervals as short as a few minutes, or as long as several months, copy only files that have changed, and the replication of folder and file deletions.

New features allow you to specify which files should not be copied, and also which days a file should be skipped!

+1 for SyncToy. Extremely easy to use, free, and does 99% of what I would want it to do.
