Recommendations for backup software

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,??

Re: Recommendations for backup software

Hi jpmurph1,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

Since you have Vista Ultimate, you can use the included backup programs. These tutorials will show you how to use each one.

To backup and restore file types:
Backup Files

and

Restore Backup Files

To backup and restore complete PC:
Backup Complete Computer

and

Restore Complete Computer



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.

Hope this helps you,
