What backup program is best?

[Guest Renny Bosch]

I have been using NTI (New Technology Inc.) File Backup for same time.

Recently they "upgraded" to version 5, and made the user interface much less

intuitive. Also, it seems to lose some information I entered, such as Job

Name, Overwrite option, and Verify option.

 

Is there a preferred file backup program that you experts recommend? (XP

SP3.)

 

Thank you.

I have been using Future Systems Solutions: Casper XP for several

years satisfactorily.

I have no relation with this company except as a retail user. hth

For making backups in a home envoronment, Acronis Trueimage takes some

beating. I would not recommend it for backing up a business environment

(because this it not its primary function), but for home use it is entirely

adequate. It provides a method of restoring to a brand new blank disc.

And don't forget to have at least a couple of rescue CDs

made for you by True Image. Totally cheap compared

to your time if you find you have no other way to boot short

of using your Windows installation media.
