Backup Software

[Hay11Mac]

Hey Guys,

After my recent SSD FAILURE, I need to do regular backups of my main rig, I have enough storage as you can see below I have a 12TB storage server.

I just wondered if you would use the windows Backup feature or if there is a good piece of software you would recommend

Thanks Guys

alot of people use acronis ime not sure if you have to pay for it but its worth looking into

Acronis True Image Home 2011 = $50

I make ISO's of my files using UltraISO, you have to pay for it though.

I think there are free ISO programs you can use not sure what they are called

Yeah, it's the same sort of thing, it will make a disk image of your files.

I use what comes with the Seagate Blackarmor which is Acronis True Image I believe just with Seagate written here and there, gives you all the options you'd ever want to back up.

Just found that I have a copy of Acronis, have installed it on my pc, and am setting up the backup, but am wondering if I can get it to backup to the server directly??? can't seem to find any info on it....

Can anyone help

Find the backup option and when asked where you want to backup to, choose your server on the network tab, at least it was that easy on seagates version. Your server name is showing up when you choose backup destination right?

Ah I have found it, I had to browse for it, but seems all good

Thanks

I use and recommend Handy Backup, it's easy to use and reliable backup software for Windows.

There's also a free software out there. I've used it for awhile and can honestly say it's not that bad.

You should be able to see there's a free version of their backup software from the download page: Easeus Todo Backup.

Just something all of you may want to look at in the future as an alternative. ^__^
