    Best Win 7 Backup program


    I've had some bad experiences with backup programs.
    Can you believe last one I tried for some reason didn't backup .log files?
    So I'd really like to get a good opinion on a windows backup program.

    Anyways, internet propaganda is hard to sort through. What by reputable sources would be considered the best backup program out there.

    I want something that can detect when an external device is plugged in. That was say I can have certain files that need to be updated on my usb key each time I plug it in backed up.

    Windows Home Server / Full bare metal backup and restore / can drill down into the backup and restore single files if needed or the complete image from scratch on a new drive freshly formatted or any level between.

    As to external device updating certain/single files if needed. You can setup a U3 Traveler from Memorex to do that.

    Do do what you want is going to require a more in depth application bobtran named 2-3. If you can deal with less there are the ones most of us use. Acronis is popular as is win 7's own bu and restore. In my case im not a fan of win 7. I use Acronis and Ghost.

    Hope this helps

    Shadow Protect Desktop by StorageCraft.

    Very fast, not a lot of bells and whistles. Ghost licenses their driver btw.

    U3 Traveler is a thumb drive with a small OS on the dirve. You can set it up to automatically update files when it is plugged in. Files can also be encrypted requiring a pass phrase to unlock the drive prior to gaining access to the files.

    Good advice if you don't want to run a home server. I'm just lazy and want the machine to do the work for me.

    The folks at Acronis are saying that TI 2009 will not fully support Win7 but TI 2010 which is in beta and to be released after the official release of Win7 will fully support the new OS.

    Anyone finding that TI 2009 has some bugs on Win7????

    Yeah, I'm running ATI Home 2009, build 9796 on 32-bit ultimate, build 7260, and there continues to be a persistant "bug" with the inability to mount a saved image file in Windows 7.

    Other than that, backup (both from inside Seven and using a CD) and restore (both from inside Seven and using a CD) appear to work fine.
