Recommendations for backup software

jpmurph1 · Mar 30, 2008

Hi, all, quick question, i am looking for backup software, something really simple, simple enough that it doesnt even have to compress the files just copy them to my flash drive, i dont have that many important things to back up, basically what i do is find each programs folder and "Send it to my flash drive, but at times doing it this way, i can get lazy, any recommendations,??

If you are wanting a great 3rd party program, then I would recommend Acronis True Image. We have a deal with Acronis where our members can get 20% off if you are interested in it.
