| 757885 | 2009-03-19 18:44:00 | I get so tired of endlessly telling people to backup their data. Then when it all goes wrong they stand there crying. What can I do? Its not always possible to retrieve it............. So, all you people who haven't backed up, go do it NOW. |

| 757887 | 2009-03-19 21:19:00 | 1. What programs does everyone use to backup? Or do you all do it manually, copying each file/folder individually? 2. Does anyone know of a program which syncs files, but only syncs changed files? So it ends up making incremental, not full backups? |

Does anyone know of a program which syncs files, but only syncs changed files? So it ends up making incremental, not full backups? 1) I back up my C: partition using Vista's complete PC backup, which does a block level differential backup with versioning (scheduled to run daily at 6pm). I back up D: drive (my data partition) to a network share using Cobian Backup, which does incremental backups (scheduled to run daily at 6pm) 2) Vista's Complete PC Backup tool, Cobian Backup, Synctoy, and for my Linux environments, home-grown backup scripts (scheduled to run daily at 1am). |

| 757889 | 2009-03-19 21:34:00 | SyncBack Freeware (www.2brightsparks.com) is a good place to start. :thumbs: Download is about 2/3 of the way down the page. |

| 757891 | 2009-03-19 22:57:00 | I usually use SyncBack for my Docs on D drive, and image my C drive once a month through a networked drive. | Blam (54) | ||
| 757892 | 2009-03-20 00:25:00 | The crying person yesterday, I made her buy an external drive and gave her detailed instructions. Her accountant sent her a flash drive. Both were still in their packaging when disaster occurred. Crying then doesn't help. Makes me feel bad for them, but hey what did I say a thousand times? |

| 757893 | 2009-03-20 01:02:00 | I use "Seagate Disc Wizard" to clone C: drive to an external usb hard drive, and have made a boot disc in case of complete drive failure. I create a new image once a week. Only started doing this after going through the painful experience of loosing all my my data last year because of hard drive failure. |
