Title: Which Backup Software?
Post by: DJ on April 06, 2003, 19:07

Hi All,

Just wondering which backup method you all use.  I currently just make copies of my files onto CDRW's every so often - but looking at a more automated regular method.

Does anyone recommend any software / freeware or any backup devices that are reasonably cheap and effective.

I would only need to backup around 700MB at a time.

Cheers

I can't recomend any software as I just do manual backups using Nero. I tend to keep all my documents, downloaded files etc in folders that are easily dragged across in Nero

I have got Nero, but couldn't get it to use CDRW discs. (ie backup once, then erase and do a new backup)

Do you use CDRW's ? or just CDR's and keep lots of discs.

Cheers

Same here David, except I use Roxio Easy CD Creator's DirectCD product.

Sometimes I've also been known to use the built-in backup program in Windows, but usually it's just as easy to drag and drop files to a CDRW.
