Recommendations Plz: Would like to run scheduled backups, min impact.
Hi, i currently occasionally backup mum and dad's PC with a simple robocopy batch file to an external HDD (/MIR). Unfortunately, this doesn't happen very often and i'd like to change strategy.
They are not heavy users, they don't update data often, but when they do it's usually a couple of hundred photos (HQ jpeg).
I've recently replaced their PC with one that runs Windows 7 and has two HDDs, "C" is ~160gb. The other (Backups) is ~200gb.
I'm after software that will run silently in the background and throttle it's behaviour, either during login/startup, or during use. Or, if no throttling: run when they log off or shut down (possibly my preferred option).
I've read around a bit, but reviews don't seem to focus on scheduling, and how it would work as far as user impact is concerned. And although i haven't read extensively, i haven't seen a mention of throttling so user impact is minimised.
I will continue to manually backup to an external HDD from time to time (pretty much whenever i visit).
Cheers.
