I bought a reasonable priced WD external HD at the local computer show and now I wonder what you guys use backup program for the external HD? Mine does not come with the programs at all. I suppse you guys would say True Image software, right?
I have True Image CD and used alot it was a good program but that was with DVD. I never used with external HD.
 
What are you mainly backing up?

For basic file backup, there are numerous free backup programs that can sync folders to the external drive. Syncback and Synctoy are both simple yet effective, and are free. You may also be able to download backup software from the WD website. Personally, I use Syncback profiles to keep important data mirrored to an external HD.

TrueImage can also be used to backup specific folders, but the majority use it for image backup of entire partitions.
