Last week, I received a question pertaining to a free Windows backup program. I
took this opportunity to ask the readers of the Infopackets Gazette
newsletter, and received MANY suggestions.
So, without further adieu,
here are some top picks:
|
Karen's
Power Tools: Replicator
(many readers wrote in about this one)
|
Replicator copies from any source to any destination; it works with ZIP,
CD-R, and HD. It can be set to freshen files that are updated/deleted and
can be set for unattended operation.
Required: Visual
Basic 6.0.
|
|
My Own
Backup (MOB)
|
A
flexible piece of software that allows for Disk Spanning (CD-R
backups). Some features include DOS command line support, Backup
History and an Internet Live Update function.
Screen
Shots available. |
|
Backup,
Archival, and Synchronization Kit
(BASK)
|
BASK
is a synchronization based backup and restore utility. It allows you
to specify a source and destination, along with a mapping, a pattern
to include, and a pattern and folders to exclude. You can determine
file set differences through the date, time, and size of the source
and destination files; by checking the source file's Archive
attributes; or by comparing a single file's version number in the
source and destination folder. |
|
Free Byte Backup
|
Allows one to easily copy (and filter) a large number of files and directories from various sources into one backup directory. It is possible to backup all files found in the specified set of input directories, or to have only certain file types copied. Files can be filtered according to file-extensions.
