Morning

I am currently sorting out the networking and software for a small company which is Charity run hence why money is tight.

I am looking for a good freeware backup utility that I can install on several machines that will automatically backup folders to a network drive.

Something that will scan the folders and only back up what docs have been saved at the end of every day.

Any ideas would be a treat. :)
 
robocopy /e C:\source\ d:\destination\

it's made by ms, and it's a pain to find the exe on their site, so here you go

-it's already a part of vista btw, just drop that in the windows\system32 folder

A great idea but it needs to be a third party app that the users themselves can control in case of any hiccups. :(

I was going to use Norton Ghost but the licence is only for 1 pc and there are 8.

Edit: I may actually use the one built into XP but not entirely sure how trusted it can be.

Well I gave Syncback a bash this afternoon and I have to say, it works very well.

Finance will stop beating me with verbal about backup now.

Cheers guys. :)
