So I talked about finding some free backup utilities on the Mike Tech Show Listener Roundtable Show # 234.
I said I would publish some good free ones programs to backup your system files and I think I have done it. Here’s are some great ones that I recommend for anyone who doesn’t want to pay for a backup program:
Allway Sync — Works with Windows Vista/XP. It supports : Hard Drives, Removable Hard Drives, Network Drives, Amazon S3, FTP Server, Offsitebox.com, and WEBDAV Folder. This program is also quite portable and can be used on more than one computer with the portable version.[ad#text-broadband2]
ViceVersa — Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista. Vice Verse FREE will compare files in two folders (source and target) and synchronize file differences. There isn’t much else you can do with this but It does look to be good for small backups and older system.
Acebackups — is a powerful tool to create completely secure backups of your data. Store your data on any local storage device, on CD, DVD or on your remote FTP server!
The one I have been using that is the most useful for me is Allway Sync. I have it set up to use my [intlink id=”3059″ type=”post”]A600 Cricket Modem w/the 4 Gig Mini SD card[/intlink] to back up my [intlink id=”2646″ type=”post”]Roboform[/intlink] Passwords. I could buy the Roboform portable version and use this to keep backup’s on my hard drive. Allway Sync also has a portable version for multiple computers. I think this is the most versatile, for the needs of backup. Something that I have done is backing up my important data to a portable Harddrive, Flash drive and backing up to a ftp server to make sure I don’t loose any data. I have it set up to have redundancy. You should always have more than one backup.
In the coming Miketechshow Listener Round Table Discussion, we will be talking about backing up and the need to back. I encourage everyone to join on that discussion. I would like to know what you do with how you back up and if you back up. I’ll post the time and Date when I find out!!
