durex Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 So I finally purchased a spare hdd to use as a backup drive for my important files. Wondering what ppl recommended for backup software. Guess I dont need anything too fancy as all I plan to do is weekly backups of certain folders to disk.TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
