Can anyone recommend the best file backup program for Windows XP Pro
SP1 that meets all of the following requirements:
1. Backs up the files in original formats, not proprietary MicroSoft,
third-party or .zip formats, that can be read on the desktop of any
Windows computer (W98 or greater) with a CD ROM drive.
2. Backs up to CDs directly (the backup program included with XP does
not).
3. Allows the user to choose which files to back up.
4. Allows incremental/differential backups and full backups.
I've tried 6 or 7 programs and none of them satisfy what seem to be 4
really basic requirements. Thanks. Please respond to this group.
PS: Thanks for previous recommendations, but Casper XP does not allow
backup of a single file, and Retrospect backs up in a proprietary
format that can only be read by a CD R/RW drive. I typically need
backups when my computer has crashed and I need to restore to a second
computer that does not contain any proprietary backup software, only
out-of-the-box Windows.
