    I have a Seagatte 300gb external drive. I've tried the Seagatte's backup software that came with the drive. Don't really care for it.

    I want to be able to backup the entire c:\ and or specific folders (my music, my pictures,etc.)

    Is there something better out there that I can use with my drive.
    4rd party program or shelf item.
    Need help
    Thanks.\
    Bill

    SyncBack is a flexible, and quite powerful backup and synchronization program that allows to to maintain backup copies of your files and folder, or to synchronize them, so that both locations always have a complete copy (e.g Laptop/PC). It offers different types of actions that let you choose how older and newer files are processed, which files should be excluded (by mask) and more. It offers standard file comparison based on the date and size, as well as optional MD5 checksum, which will detect even the slightest modifications to files. SyncBack also supports scheduled projects, FTPand zip compression of backups, as well as network login, simulation runs and more.

    I use Acronis Desktop Manager. It has saved my OS many times. Backs up files, disks etc. Clones to new hard disks. Resizes partitions when needed. It has the facilty to make a bootable cd, which may sometimes be your last resort.

    Bill, if you are using XP Pro you can use the backup utility that microsoft provides... it isn't bad. Start >All Programs >Accessories >System Tools >Backup.
