I've been experimenting with freeware backup programs to backup my data to an external hard drive in a scheduled nightly run. So far, I have not found a perfect solution.
Anybody have good ideas on an inexpensive software solution for this on XP? Ideally, I'd like to maintain a parallel image of my various data directories. I prefer not to deal with incremental backups where I have to figure out which historical backup date contains the file I need.
Hmmm, sounds like I am describing RAID 1. Maybe I should just do that again but external storage would be nice should my entire PC take a beating.
