| 510889 | 2006-12-29 22:27:00 | Hi all, Looking for some software for a relative of mine that'll do automatic (nightly?) incremental backups for him to an external HDD, or perhaps DVD / CD? He doesnt expect the backups will be large (Although his Outlook PST file will be changing, so it could end up that it is...) Possibly looking for something that'll compress it as well? I know that Ghost is good with compression, just havent played around with it enough to know if it does things incrementally? He's looking for cheap / free, running WinXP Home (Might be Pro, not sure). Doesnt the latest WinZip do something like that? Anybody used it? Any suggestions greatly appreciated Cheers Chill. |
