Looking for a Backup solutions

[Danielh90]

Hello, I'm looking for good backup software that allows me to schedule backups. It has to be able to back up to my storage server. All of the machines I am physical. For right now

I've tested some programs and GoodSync was the one that is working fine for me, there's probably best options like using rsync (that isn't so intuitive on windows).

I discovered there is a paid version only yesterday after I saw a message that I had to pay if I wanted to do more than 3 jobs.

FreeFileSync is (duh!) free. I've been using it for years to backup my data drives. It is capable of scheduling backups (although I don't recommend scheduled backups since it requires the backup drive or server to be connected to the computer and powered up at all times).

what os are you backing up?

 

FIle or image backups?

 

URbackup works better well for client backups.

Yeah I tried veeam and I'm kinda scared of it lol. I got it working a little but not really

Veeam has a lot of docs on their site, I recommend you check them out and stick with that product. 

Define a datastore (repository), make a job, add computers to that job. ezpz.

Yea, +1 to Veeam. It is pretty good for backup all kind of stuff + if you want to go into virtualization Veeam will be good solution to work with

Depending on what OS you are using on your clients rsync + some kind of scheduling (cron, systemD, etc) might be a good option. That's only for Unix/Unix-likes afaik though.

Okay thanks I'll give it another go. Also how well does it do with physical computers/servers?
