I have used backup software before but find it a hassle so I never bother with it. What I would like to be able to do is to go though the whole computer once and assign the folders I want to back up then from then on all I want to do is, go to the start menu and click backup or something like that so it is not so much of a pain to backup. Is there software out there that can do this? Thanks	Guest (0)

I wrote one to back up all my work stuff plus delete certain files and move others. It's run every hour by a free scheduling program. Works like a dream and it means I don't have to think about doing it.	Guest (0)
