Backup Software

[velillen]

Recently i have been using microsofts synctoy to just back up specific folders. But for some reason it has stopped working so i thought it would be time to find a good replacement.

All i back up is specific folders (ie music, school folder, game files) from one hard drive to another hard drive. i do not need it to be able to back up the whole thing but i am sure that comes with just about every piece of back up software.

The main feature i would really like is to be able to set the program to auto run the back up say once a week on tuesdays at 3am. I do that with my defrag and antivirus so it would be great if i could set this up to do it as well and not have to try to remember to do it.

Thanks for nay input and paid or free i do not mind.

Cobian Backup is probably your best bet.

You could use robocopy for this and create scripts that you can setup with scheduler to run when you want them to.

Ok been using Cobian Backup for 2 weeks now and gotta say it does everything i want MINUS one thing. Every back up it creates a new folder. For example the first full back up creates a folder My Music 6-28-09. Now when it does the incremental update instead of updating that same folder itll create a new folder such as My Music 6-30-09 and place the 3 or 4 new files in there.

How can i get it to use the same exact destination folder everytime?
