Question

Any good free PC Backup software ?

Answer 1

Cobian backup



http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/cobianbackup.htm



Version 8 is open source

Answer 2

For Win XP: Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Backup. Free and already on your PC. You can schedule it to back up your essential files on a regular basis. Two tips: for Win Backup to work successfully your account MUST have log-in password. Also, make it incremental backup, that way after first full backup every time program will backup only new or changed files, which will make backup last only seconds! And in addition, if you Ghost your C-partition from time to time, in case of total disaster your recovery will last only about 1/2 hour.

They have both free and commercial version (the latter backs up to the cloud and has more features)

Not sure about free.... but documents and such are easily back-uped.



I believe Vista has a backing up feature in fact...

Answer 7

If you want to backup everything including your operating system, settings, applications and data you need to create a mirror image backup of your hard drive - basically a snapshot that is a compressed set of files - you can backup to an external drive or dvd with macrium reflect free
