| 1290872 | 2012-07-25 22:37:00 | I need a backup program - freeware or $$ - whatever is good, something that I can 'set and forget' so that it makes the back up once a day or other time frame. If it will make a backup to two hard drives, that would be nice. Thanks. |

| 1290874 | 2012-07-25 22:51:00 | Fbackup (http://www.fbackup.com/) - it will back up what ever you want to where ever you want, over a LAN, external drives, fully automated. If it will make a backup to two hard drivesHope the Two hard Drives are not internal ones ;) |

Fbackup (http://www.fbackup.com/) - it will back up what ever you want to where ever you want, over a LAN, external drives, fully automated. Hope the Two hard Drives are not internal ones ;) Thanks wainuitech. One hd is internal, the other external :D |

| 1290876 | 2012-07-25 23:43:00 | Love crashplan myself. Backup to Another folder, another machine, a friend via the internet (you can send a harddrive first) or pay for it and use their cloud service.... I have 140GB in their cloud, + on another machine at home, + a folder inthe same machine (basically protected for hard drive failure, machine failure and house burnt down). But then I'm paranoid... :D |

Said it was splitting files or something and then said out of space. Looked good till this fatal occurred. |

| 1290879 | 2012-07-26 04:23:00 | exFAT would be a better choice than NTFS for flash drives :) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1290880 | 2012-07-26 05:44:00 | Synback is also another good free backup programme :) | smurf (6545) | ||

Looked good till this fatal occurred. As psycik mentioned, try looking at the format on the USB, just did a 3GB backup to a 8GB USB NTFS drive no problems. | wainuitech (129) | ||
