Free backup software

Post by Dragon_Cooler »

I am looking for some free backup software that will basically allow me to choose what files and folders and copy them to a networked computer at set times(VERY IMPORTANT..HAS TO BE AUTO!!). Also one that will just replaced existing files and folders (or however it works).

I would prefer one that will copy without compressing or zipping or anything of that sort.

Just wondering what other people here use or if yall have had any experience with anything.

I use ROBOCOPY, its a updated version of the old XCOPY.

I use it to do differential backups for work, its a niffty little tool.

you can get it here in the resource kit, and can get a rundown on the switches and an example batch file here.

I made a batch file and set up a timer in windows scheduler to run it.
