Hello friends.

I'm wondering if anyone here knows of or uses a free scheduled backup application that can look at the directories selected, check which files have been modified and backup/update them? I found one but it was only a trial version >:

Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

windows 7 has free backup software that i use;

dunno if it can check for modifications, it runs on a set period as far as i know

rsync works on windows doesn't it?

if u guys are looking for free random software this is great site.... i normally just wait until somethign comes up i want and download it http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I am running windows 7 i'll have a look at that spook.

yar, i was gonna get a third party app, but then i saw windows 7 has it built in, so i just use that;

works a charm!
back up all my docs (and whatever other dirs i chose) every sunday nite to my external 1 tb drive

Microsoft Synctoy 2.1

Xcopy sourcepath destpath /m /s /e /y

example

xcopy c:\userdata\account\*.* D:\mybackup /m /s /e /y

I was thinking about making a batch file nat, but is there a way to schedule a .bat?

^^ seems like a lot of effort ^^

Batch files can be scheduled with Windows Task Scheduler.

I use Windows Mesh, it can sync any number of folders on your computer to 5GB of online storage.

Any change is automatically updated within the system.

I'd suggest SyncToy - set up the profile for the directory to back up, then create scheduled tasks that invoke that particular pair.

I like time machine, it's pretty grea.... oh you said windows.
