Backup Software

[Daniel Rudy]

I'm sorry to say, but the backup software that comes with Windows is
more or less useless. It will not compress the data. What software is
out there that will perform a full system backup to a hot-swap HD, while
compressing and encrypting the data. I have about 200GB of programs and
data to backup.

Thanks.

True. It is a crippled version of Veritas Backup Exec Desktop (sold off
to StompSoft and now called Backup MyPC). You don't get everything in
the crippled 3rd party fluff that Microsoft adds to its operatings
systems.

See replies to your other post submitted all of 13 minutes later to this
same group. I gave a more complete answer there.
