backup

[Goofy]

any good backup programmes available for nothing/next to nothing?
The one that came with my pc seems to have given up.

What are you backing up to?

if it's an external hard drive (or another sort of USB storage) then the Microsoft synctoy lets you create "folder pairs" that can be synchronised for backup purposes.

Other options:

If you're feeling adventerous, rsync is brilliant. However, it's written for unix-like systems, so needs something like Cygwin to run under Windows. A lot of faffing, but it's very good. It's free and open source.

SyncBack SE is free and does a similar job, just copying files over from one place to another. Works nicely in Windows, and is easy to use.

If you want a backup of your whole drive, from one to another (and not just certain files and folders), then try Clonezilla. This is free and open source software, and runs from a CD. It's great for backups, or moving from a smaller to larger drive.

I only want to back up a few files. I'm the Church Treasurer and would hate to lose the data and have to start again!

I thought something easy so I could back up on to a CD.
Nothing complicated as i'm competent on a pc, but nothing more!

Try to use Norton Ghost. Here is it's features:
http://www.symantec.com/norton/ghost
* Full system backup (disk image)�Backs up everything on a hard drive or partition.
* File and folder backup�Backs up only the specific files and folders you choose rather than saving an entire drive.
* FTP backup�Copies recovery points to a FTP site for easier offsite backup management.
* Offsite backup�backs up your files to NAS (Network-Attached Storage) devices.
* Symantec ThreatCon integration� triggers incremental backups whenever ThreatCon reaches a specified threat level. Great for computers without virus protection.
* Incremental and differential backup�Backs up only files that have changed.
* EXCLUSIVE! Google Desktop integration�Makes data recovery even faster with searchable backup indexes.
* LightsOut Restore�Restores your system with an on-disk software recovery environment�no bootable CD required.
* EXCLUSIVE!: Remote management�Controls other Norton Ghost installations (12.0 or higher) on your local area network.
* Advanced compression and encryption�Minimizes storage space and helps keep sensitive documents safe.

If you just want to do that, then Windows itself has everything you need.

If you have a USB flash drive, just stick it in the computer, and it'll appear as a drive in Windows Explorer. Just drag the files across from your computer to the drive --- they'll be copied by default, thus becoming a backup.

I understand that Windows can also do the same with CDs too (but don't use it so not sure on the details). If you want a free program to burn CDs, then try InfraRecorder:

http://infrarecorder.org/

Stick a blank CD in your machine, start to create a new data CD (if it asks, again not sure because I don't use it much), and just drag your files into its Windows. Then click burn, and those files will be on the CD very quickly. Do this once a month or so (more often is better, but no point doing too many!), and you'll be safe.

f03nix has the perfect answer for you I thought. Your requirements are simple and a USB flash drive is cheap and sooo easy.

[SiennaHughes]

You can use NT Back up or also you can use from Start -- Programs -- Accessories -- System Tools -- and then click on Back up.

This is the best program for normal backup. use
