[Electronics-talk] accessible backup software for windows

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
I have the same question. For me, I'd like an end to end solution, so its 
easiest.
Carbonite sounds good. Is it accessible? Also with this, do you have to 
connect to the internet? Does this run automatically or can you set it to do 
so?
I have my computer automatically defraging every so often and maybe backup 
can be the same way.

Also what exactly does it backup? All your windows material, or just your 
files? So far, I've saved my files manually to an external memory device 
such as a CD.

But it would be nice to have something better.

Ashley

Hey Everyone,

It depends on where Lori wants to put her backups.  If she wants to
backup to an external disk, or perhaps CDs, this Jude's suggestion is
a really good one.

If Lori wants to backup her data to a cloud storage provider
(Google Drive, sky drive, dropbox, etc.) then Jude's solution still
works with some fiddling and configuring.

However, if Lori wants an end to end solution, such as carbonite or
crashplan, then Jude's solution doesn't really fit.  The question
would become does anyone know of any end to end backups solutions that
areaccessible? I'm afraid I don't know one way or the other.

Lori, can you talk more about what kind of backup solution you're
looking for?

Does anyone know if any of the consumer grade end to end backup
solutions are accessible?

Thanks,

Jim
