Hi windoze users around the world again sharing junk on an IT level - I've been successfully using this little bit of **freeware** to keep quite a number of computers safe from problems, including all 26 PC's in a company I recently left. *SyncBack* backs up and synchronises your files and directories to either the same drive, a different drive, a different medium (CDRW, CompactFlash, etc), an FTP server, a network, etc. It supports file filters (for example, to back up only specific types of files, say, *.JPG), folders, copy verification (to check the integrity of your backups), background backups (with auto-close of programs that are running, to ensure data integrity), log files of your backups (in HTML format), etc. It works with the Windows scheduler so that you can schedule your backups. Backups can be compressed. one of the nicest things is that you can have different schedules so it backs up different days to different locations - I set it up for the company such that it ran across a fortnight period.. just in case data was lost on say a tuesday and not discovered untill the following thursday, the missing data was there. It can also be set to run in quiet periods, for example I set it so it ran if the computer was idle for ten minutes - if you returned to the computer and began work again it would immediately cease operations and resume again when it found it's self alone ;-) http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/syncback-hub.html k
