There are probably thousands of backup software products. We can only scratch the surface here.
Whatever you choose, it needs to be able to:
- make incremental backups: this means only back up what has changed since the last one. With a couple of gigabytes of photos, video, scanned doc etc.. you don't want to back up everything every day
- rotate backups
- back up to DVD, CD, another hard drive, tape...
- schedule backups
- restore one file as well as restore everything. You don't want to have to find somewhere to put all that data back just to pick one file out of it
We haven't checked all of these out yet. We offer them just for your consideration. If there is enough demand we can do reviews and public ratings on this site - let us know. And if you know a good tool, let us know too.
