A useful free software for data backup
Data backup is one of the key issue of computer data security. The easiest way is just ” copy and paste” the files to another drive (eg external harddisk) for data storage. It cost you nothing except time, which may takes more than 15 minutes in some cases when the file size is very big. You may also use software like ” Acronis true image” to perform whole drive backup and it do the job very well but it cost you USD$ 49.9. I find that folder backup is most suitable for our work and the software “Syncback” is a good choice. It perform incremental backup (manually or scheduled) and significantly shorten the time taken for performing the backup task. It safeguard your data and save your money.
