PicoBackup freeware?

[Frank K. Jensen]

Hi guys

As posted earlier, I'm looking for a backup tool. I found PicoBack, which at
first glance, looks like what I'm looking for. Any suggestions for a
freeware variant of PicoBackup

I repeat my previous post, so you know what I'm looking for:
---
I'm looking for a back utility to backup documents, mails, adresses,
favorits, pictures and so on. It should be simple (as it is actually for my
folks), and it should be able to burn directly to CDR spanning several
disks. It should not pack the files, but just copy them so they can be
viewed directly from the disk with intact directory structure. It would be
cool if you could build jobs, so that when you want to backup say docs and
mails you just click docs og mails and thats it.

Here are a couple of programs inj the last freeware version:

I'm not sure if you can set compression to 0 and not have a zipped
backup here. Any program like Zip Genius will easily read the files as
compressed though.

Spanning several Cds? If you are thinking of a single backup then I'm
pretty sure CDR-RWs are going to be necessary. It might be easier to
backup in sets on CD-Rs? One CD per backup?

The 2004 Pricelessware choice is Karen's Replicator:

Did I miss the PW backup program for 2005?

Hey there,

I'm looking for a back utility to backup documents, mails, adresses,
favorits, pictures and so on. It should be simple (as it is actually for my

disks. It should not pack the files, but just copy them so they can be

This is a stunning piece of software that can do everything you listed
above and then some:

SyncBack
http://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/freeware-hub.html

<quotes from the page>
SyncBack is our freeware program that helps you easily backup and
synchronise your files to: the same drive; a different drive or medium
(CDRW, CompactFlash, etc); an FTP server; a Network; or a Zip archive.

The' No Install' version above will not install files into Windows or
other PC system directories: there is no uninstaller and you will need
to create shortcuts to the folder where you locate the program files.

Hey there,

Or maybe you'll like this one better? It's not quite as "involved" of
a program as SyncBack, but also powerful and quick to use:

My Own Backup
http://www.woundedmoon.org/win32/mobv21.html

<quotes from the page>
MOB will let you do your backups by either copying all of the data, or
zip it onto almost any type of media.

Works with Zip & Jaz Drives, CD-RW, Hard Drives or even Floppy Disks
using the Diskspan option. Crammed with powerful options, yet still
extremely easy to use. Once you create and save your set you will
never be more than two click away from a backup. There is even a Run
Multiple option to make all of your backups in just one go.

SyncBack does all of this.

Thanks all, I guess I have to give SyncBack another go then, but PicoBackup
just looked sooo much easier at first glance
