Simple Data Backup

Hard disks Crash, Computers get stolen, Files Get Corrupted etc. That are the things happening daily if it has not happened to you count yourself lucky. But are you prepared for a disaster ? We have heard of many people who lost their entire collection of music or photo’s and who did not have an backup.

Simple Data Backup is a FREE, easy program to back up folders/files from one drive to another and have these folders/files automatically backed up on a regular basis. It can back up to a 2nd hard drive, network drive, flash drive, and even a CD/DVD if packet-writing software is installed. It can create identical folder/file structures on the backup device or can compress the data as a .ZIP or .7z file (LZMA compression). It can back up “in use” files (as long as you meet certain criteria), and it automatically handles the whole full/incremental backup thing that other programs make you deal with. Simple Data Backup is indeed simple – just pick the folders you want to be backed up and a few settings and you’re done

To be sure backup data to a network drive or a second hard drive, a backup on your crashed hard disk is not going to be helpful
