Windows 7 backup

[RizzoTheRat]

I used to use Syncback on my old XP system, but it seems to cause problems with Win 7 64 bit. Any suggestions for free backup software to copy files and folders to second hard drive (prefer to leave them in standard format rather than compressed in to a backup file hence not using windows own software). Tried Goodsync but it turns out to be a free 30 day licence then very limited after that. Can't see the point in paying for software that doesn't do a lot more than a batch file with an xcopy comand, which is my alternative plan if I can't find anything.

Synctoy - free from Microsoft. And full x64 version.

Toucan may also be worth a look (this has a portable version which will run off a USB stick too).

On Win7?

Control Panel/System & Security/Back up & Restore.

Have you tried that?

That only does backup to a single backup file as far as I can see doesn't it?

Looks like Synctoy should do the job, cheers.
