Looking for backup software

[Michelle]

I've been using Backup MyPC. I'm having problems with it that uninstalling and reinstalling don't solve. So I'm looking for new software. It has to have native CD burning support.

hi Michelle

What OS are your using?

if it is Xp I believe the back-up program is not installed by default in the Home version as it is in the pro version.

more info please

Is your CD UDF formatted?

check out Acronis TrueImage - really good, really easy to use.

Does TrueImage back up the entire partition? To do that I would need to backup to another drive. I keep three sets of rotating backups, so I would actually need three drives. Every day I would be backing up 50GB when I'm only concerned with backing up less than one percent of that. I think traditional backup software is more practical for my situation.

Wow 50gig everyday u my friend have alot of time on your hands j/k

Yup my CD are UDF formatted (I believe) mind u when i do back-ups It is just usually docs, music, stuff that i no work would kill me if I didnt have. I have a disk image that i made with drive image for my partitions
that also makes my back-ups easier

hope you find the solution

I don't back up 50GB. That's what I would have to back up if I used a program like True Image. I back up about 300MB daily.

Does TrueImage back up the entire partition?

check the Acronis website - I think you can specify what you are backing up, you don't have to back up the whole partition.

Thanks. I originally mentioned that I want a program with native CD burning support because I haven't had good results with UDF.
