Backup Software needed.

Hi

I am in need of some freeware backup software.

Can anyone recommend me one that actually just backs up the files as they are and not into another file format? A bit like copy and pasting the files over but something I can set and forget to backup each day.

Thanks

Cobain Backup

Have a google for it - been using it for about 1 year. Basically to just back up my pictures and files. Can do various formats including just a "copy and paste" job aswell as others.

Set it to run once a month to my external hard drive.

Simple, free and very useful
