Automatic backup software

Feb 23, 2011 2:40AM PST

Can anybody help me please? Are there any reliable, and preferably reasonably priced, programs around that will automatically back up files, documents and Windows Live Mail email messages to an external hard drive as they are generated and without me having to do it manually (which I occasionally forget or don't have time to do)? Some seem to be capable of backing up Outlook Express, but being a Windows 7 user, I now have to use Windows Live Mail. Does anyone know of a program that will back up these emails automatically please? Any help greatly appreciated.

Syncback. It's very easy and while not automatic for the free version a snap to fire up and make it go.

Most
third party backup software can do it! Just your mention you cared the price, i
can recommend you one backup software, todo backup. It can do automated
schedule backup
according to your settings. At the same time, it is cheaper.

I've had the easeus titles work and fail, work again so be sure you can live with an occasional misfire.
