Re: Any recs for B/U s-ware??

i use xxcopy from xxcopy.com
its a dos based copy program that works amazingly fast.
if you're a hands on guy like me, you will love it.
just create a .bat file and put the commands in it and you can schedule it to go off whenever you want and clone any part of your ahrd drive and it can just copy the files that changed. the fastest engine i have seen.

OK, I have my new USB Ext. Drive.

I don't care for the WD software that came with the drive.

I would like to be able to B/U my desktop and my laptop to this drive (some individual folders, but every so often a complete image that I can restore in case of computer disaster).

I would like something that is free and easy to use.

Suggestions?
