Good Free Backup Software?

[reystar]

Hey guys,

 

i need a free backup software to backup(clone or image) my HD an external HD at work, which one would you recommend? I want it to auto back up via a schedule that i will set

[Metal_Kitty]

The best free backup software you can get comes with windows 

Just redirect it to an external HDD - and backup on schedule t3o that - with windows...

Sorted!

Sorry i do not think i am getting you...

I might actually better backup the whole drive, its better isn't it?

[Metal_Kitty]

when you run windows Backup you will be presented with a load of options - simple enough walkthrough - one of the options will be where do you want to store the backup - just make sure that you are directing the backup save to an external HDD.

im checking Veeam and Macrium Reflect Free, they are both free

I would get a product called Macrium Reflect, that is one I am familiar with and would trust... Here's the link: https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree

Yeah i was checking that one too.

 

I should only select the Windows partition to backup right?

If it's every vital information I take an image with macrium reflect and backup using windows backup and restore.
