Guys, I'm after some IT help please....

All

I have a WD MyBook wireless drive. All is good, until I use the packaged backup software, as it is known to be resource hungry!

So I removed this, and trialled NovaBACKUP, which was great, BUT creates its own type of backup file, preventing me from opening and viewing the files remotely.

Thought I found the answer with the Windows 7 Backup feature, but the files compress, and so my work computer is unable to open. I tried a registry change found after searching, but this didn't seem to work, as the files still compressed (zip).

Anyway, can anyone recommend a backup software, which I can schedule to run, or have running live, which transfer the files as they are, so viewable in windows explorer etc?

Thanks very much

Robocopy in a batch file scheduled to run as a Scheduled Task?

If its the program im thinking of where support and updates stopped in the high time of xp I wouldn't touch it haha

It may well be I'm not sure but I use it almost every other day with no issues.

Thanks for the replies.

I tried so many trials and free programs (before I saw the SyncToy suggestion), and ended up choosing Genie Time Line. I am really please with it, and it does exactly what I was after.

Cheers again
