Backup Utility by Concord Dawn on 05-26-2005 at 03:29 AM

Favourite or most recommended backup utility for single computer use.

I'm using the stock Windows Backup Utility, but I find it a bit unstable and rather whiny.

Note: No flaming people for their opinions. I will be checking these posts for flaming.

I just burn the stuff I want to backup to DVD-RW's and that works fine :P

I use Second Copy 2000 on my father's pc (with his external harddisk as a backup device).
It gets a 5/5 from Download.com. You could check the Backup utilities section on download.com..

It looks like hell, but it works perfectly :)

I use DFincbackup only down side is that you have to pay for it.....
its fair good I have it set so it copies all my php scripts into a zip every night and puts a timestamp in the name.

DFIncBackup even looks worse than second copy 2000 :tongue:

Second Copy 2000 is 'free to try' (30-day fully functional evaluation) but I guess you know how to deal with it :)
