Here I use Syncback, Goldsync, Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier to name a few because they allow me to access files in the backup. I can also tell it what or where to backup to and from.

I have used Karen Kenworthy's Replicator for years with Win XP. It doesn't work with Win 8 and a friend says it doesn't work with Win 7. I like it because you can access individual files in the backup. Specifically, a particular photo or MP3 cut. I am cautioned in Win 8.1 not to try to use an old XP program for backup as I might loose data. Can a program like replicator be made to work in Windows 8.1?
