Software to backup data and files on a Windows computer [closed]

Solution 1:

I use SyncBack by 2BrightSparks. It has a wide range of functions, including backing up to a network drive, and synchronising two folders. The free version has been sufficient for my needs.

Solution 2:

I recommend Cobian Backup. It is free and we use it to backup customer databases.

Solution 3:

I like the built in backup system in Vista business. Simple, straight forward, no issues yet.

Solution 4:

I'm a big fan of CrashPlan if you have multiple machines, some friends/family members you could hook into it, or even just an extra hard drive. It's software that backups up data to other machines in your group rather than a centralized, pay-for service. In the event of a system crash, you will be able to get your data back MUCH quicker. It also has decently priced online backup options.
