I’ve managed to get my back up system sorted for my hard drive. If there’s one thing that nags most computer users in the “I-know-I-should-but-I-don’t” way, it’s hard drive back ups. We’ve all been there: as long as your hard drive keeps on spinning, it’s easy to ignore the whole back up thing – until you actually need it.
A while ago I saw a whole load of recommendations for the free software, SyncBack Freeware v3.2.18.0. It is a straightforward backup utility that makes it easy to synchronize your files, and the fact that it’s free makes it even better. There is a lot you can do with this programme. For our setting we have used it to define several scheduled backup jobs, and all we need to do is remember to connect the portable hard drive and off it goes. It is great for home users or small organisations like churches.
