Simple backup software?

[Baldrick]

I want a simple backup software that can do incremental and differential backups to zip files and so I can add it to the windows scheduler.

I just want files like
backup.zip
backup20040404changes.zip
backup20040405changes.zip
...

www.backup4all.com seems to support all that. trying it now.

what's wrong with windows built-in backup program?

Can it create incremental differential files? i don't want one huge file.

I have tried the xp backup utility and could only get all backup data in one bkf file. When I do a backup it adds the data to the same bkf file.

Hmmmm

let me look

:edit: What happens if you do your backup to a certain place for the normal backup. Then do you differential backup to the same place but move the bkf file. Then select replace data.

Haven't tried it though.

Have you tried SyncBack from nonags?

You didn't indicate what you wanted to back it up 'on'. I used Iomega Ditto Tape backup in the olden days, when the average disk size was about 2GB, that did a differential backup. Fortunately, I never had to actually use it to recover from a crash so i can't vouch that it would have worked. It became obsolete for me when I exceeded 2gb of data. But, i'm sure a tape backup on DLT is available because that's what they use at work to do differential backup. Probably pretty expensive though. I don't know what the software is, it came with the recorder.
