I have decided to look at keeping a proper backup of my data recently after putting it off for so long. I've bought an external hard drive, now I just need some decent software to schedule it. The built in backup tool in Windows 7 seems a bit naff and creates a file you can't normally browse (if I am not mistaken?)
Can anyone recommend some basic software that meets the following criteria:
- Schedule so it prompts me to plug in the drive e.g. once a week
- Can backup only new/changed stuff and delete deleted stuff from the backup (i.e. it won't just copy everything over from scratch, not sure if I'm explaining that correctly but I think the term is differential?)
- Preferably free
I am also interested in encrypting the drive after, if the software does this for you then great, if not I was thinking of using BitLocker?
Thanks in advance for your feedback & happy new year!
