Backup Software

[Muncher]

I'm on the lookout for some backup software for my home network.

It consists of 3 PCs and a laptop, which need an automatic backup everyday. I previously used Caddais BackupOnDemand. All of the folders on the "Backup PC" were mapped as network drives and at 7pm each night the software would look to see if any changes had been made to files in certain folders and if so, update the ones in the backup directory. It could also keep several versions of different files, saving them as file{001).doc etc, although I'd prefer it if it didn't rename them.

BackupOnDemand won't work with SP2 so I need something else to do the job, any recommendations? Things like Veritas Backup Exec seem like overkill.

Its Free might be worth a look

No probs, It looks like a very powerfull package, let us have some feed back on it as I currently have Iomega Auto Backup and its a bit annoying.

You could always try Bounce Back Professional as well:

Works great with external SATA drives
