[dba-Tech] Backup Solution for Windows

Hi Bryan:

I do not know much about the Mac backup applications. The only one I have
heard of is Time-Machine.

For PC backups there is SyncBack:

Then there is a variety of cloning tools. Here is a list from TechRepublic:

Of course if you are connected to the web you can always use Dropbox with
16-18 GB of free space and Microsoft's Skydive with 25GB of space.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Backup Solution for Windows

Hi All,

I am looking for reccomendations on backup software for windows XP
that works very similar to Time Machine on the Mac.

I just lost a 1/2 TB drive on my MacBook Pro and with my Time Machine
backup, I'm fairly confident my data is going to be fully recoverable
once I get the hardware back from Apple.

I would like that peace of mind wiht my XP laptop as well.

Basically I want it to be set and forget with full and incremental
backups. I think the Time machine backup was full monthly and
incremental daily to an external firewire drive.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I should add
that a cloud solution will not work. IT and the IT security team would
have a fit.
