Please relate your experiences with your favorite backup utility. I need a recommendation please.
I use Acronis True Image. . . easy to use.
I’m a mac user, but it depends, do you want automated back-ups, full back-ups which require lots of storage, or incremental? And what’s your price range? I recognize Acronis, which is reputable for reliable back-ups.
XP has a built in back-up utility: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/bott_03july14.mspx
Here’s a comparison of 10 different back-up suites: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/26/the-10-best-windows-backup-software-programs/
Good luck and always back-up.
SyncBack free is great (and free).
we use ZenOK Online Backup, with its 10, 000 data warranty and other free tools, we feel really satisfaced.
