Backup software

Hi,

Can anyone recommend some backup software, up to about £50 if it a paid one, for windows XP and above

What I would like it to do:
Backup data to another hard drive, dvd, cd and maybe net via ftp
Image Hard drive (Not a must)

As I said I don't mind paying for it up to £50, but am unsure what to get

Re: Backup software

Would have to be Acronis True Image for me then, never let me down.

But if you want a nice little program that replicates folders and drives that is free then it would have to be THIS.

Re: Backup software

I will most like go for Acronis True Image 2009.

Thanks guys

Will most likely get it from my local PC World store, as I was ready in Computer Active latest issue and they say I can get £10 off if I take the Computer Active with me.

Just phoned them up and they say it same price as website which is £34.24, so with the £10 off it would be £24.24 cool

Re: Backup software

Hi,

I am away of true image 10 being free as it is in Computer Active mag, but I prefer to get the latest one.

I did read in Computer Active, that is was only to image the drive (I think) as it the personal version

But thanks for the links
