I am teaching my friend how to use his computer. I need to guide him into using a SIMPLE backup programme for his banking not the whole computer suggestions please

 

We both use Roboform pro for password safety ETC

 

I use Acronis 11 myself I am sure it is to complicated for him(drives me bonkers) and not realy needed

 

Thanks as usual

Bob

Hi Bob,

 

What is it you want to back up?

 

Files, folders, the whole system?

 

How often?

 

There are a few backup programs out there that can do almost anything you want. Take a look at Cobian for files/folder backup to external/network drive. DriveImage XML will image the whole drive.

 

They are examples, and a bit more info will help tremendously.

another good one bob for file and folder backups is a programme called mirror folder.

MirrorFolder: A real-time backup software

this works in raid mode so will backup as you make the changes..

or to save time re-installing xp etc if the worse happens try capser xp.

this clones your whole drive takes about 1.5 hours first time then any changes take roughly between 5-20 minutes but the computer can stil lbe used,,,,,just in case you decide to go full backup.
