Backup Software

[Vakas]

Hi! I have ouchases an external hard drive to backup date. I am trying to find some good backup software that lets me do incremental and full backups.

I also wanted it to be automated so I can schrdule backups and it does it for me.

Can anyone recommend anything, weather it's free or not just want it to do the job.

This comes on to my next question, is there any software that I can backup my Outlook sttings and data to? ie my E-mails and callender events etc.

Thanks

Hi! I have ouchases an external hard drive to backup date.

Not sure what your saying here but if your looking for software to back up your data to a external drive you can just use the built in backup utility in windows and do either an incrimental or differential backup on whatever schedule you like. Most folks will recommened Norton 8 or 9 if you want to pay and it works well. As far as backing up your email if you google there are several programs out there that will do that.

For backup programs I like Veritas, its easy to use and keeps great logs. Now for backing up your email, it if you are just backing up email stored on your local machine then you can just back the PST file you are saving your mailbox to. You should be able to get that information from "Services" in outlook.
For you other profile settings if you just want to backup
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

It should contain .fav .NICK .rwz and other files. If you don't see those files then your outlook information might be stored in a different directory.

Here is some info on that

Ceren Backup does a great job. It also allows compression to reduce the size of your backup files. It has incremental and scheduler, plus it is free.

I'd recommend you to look at this popular backup utility. It allows you to do either full system backup or incremental backup using built-in task scheduler. I think that it will fully satisfy your requirements relating to data backup. As for me, I have found that it really works fine.
Good luck
