At home (Windows Vista, XP and a SUSE file server for sharing files between them all) I backup all my user files, application data and stored files with basic scripts to an external eSATA drive. Does anyone use any FREE software that they are happy with for backups? Not the "free" stuff that comes with a drive you paid over $150 for...I mean free to download. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

At home I use DVD-RW's for my most important files. I have the original software of most of my programs. My PC has a 2nd drive of 200GB capacity so I occasionally back up my favorite places of IE and Firefox and other important documents,etc..

At work I utilize multiple back ups, a CRU Dataport product, internal tape drive and off-site Internet backup.

On certain PC's I also run a free program called SyncBack. It syncs your "my documents" for example to a folder on the server,etc.. That way if a PC crashes that employee can jump on another PC in the office, and continue working with access their files through the network while the crashed PC is being worked on...NO DOWNTIME.
