I would look at other backup apps such as SYNCBACK, GOODSYNC, ACRONIS, CLONEZILLA and others.
I can only guess you haven't been burned by Microsoft's backup software yet. Yes, folk do see it work then later.

hello,
what is the best way to back up data, and then restore it?
I have a 1tb ext hdd, and run incremental backups of my docs folder,appending the data. the system saves only recently changed files, so I have 13 sets of data, all containing different data.
1)is this the best way to back up?
2) how would I restore all of this data? choose all of the sets to restore?
3) if this is not the best way to back up, what is?
thank you,
Mike
