Looking for specific backup software?

Question

So I recently bought a new external hard-drive... and well i want to start using this to my advantage and automatically backing up files / folders ect...

Here is what I am looking for:
A. The ability to sync whatever is in my music / documents folder onto my external hard-drive. Only at specific times (basically mirroring the folders,), NOT real time. I'm gonna need this done maybe 1-2 times a week.

Example: if a file is removed from the music folder it will still be located on the external. It will NOT upload my whole music folder every time a sync comes up... only newly added files (or modified files).


B. The ability to backup specific files and folders and save the date during that save.

Example:
so lets say I have a file named
mpdata.log
I would want it saved every X often (X is where I define how often) as
mpdata - MM-DD-YY.log (m = month d= day y = year) or in folders with the date named. basically just a backup saved with a date when specified.

I'm looking for an all in one program... any ideas?

Answer 1

You can use GoodSync.

I used it, form my friend. He set it up on my computer. Pirated version.

It's not illegal unless I share it to you.

So, if you want to pirate GoodSync, you must find it on your own.



You install a version, you register it, then you install another version.

Answer 2

Genie Backup Manager Professional 8.0



Veritas Backup Exec 10 for Windows Servers

Answer 3

in view which you seem to have some non-compressible content textile, consisting of mp3s and photos, attempt BackupChain backup utility. i admire the characteristic that helps skipping compression on particular record varieties. This makes it quicker and that i can open the record straight away from the backup storage.

Answer 4

Karen's Replicator (open source and free) will do #1 (and more). #2 is more difficult. If you can do a little coding you could modify Replicator to do it pretty easily.
