Hello, I use the Windows Backup program often to perform incremental backup
of my (big) "My documents" folder.

I do this everytime some of the contets are changed or added, the backup
file is at its own harddisc.

I need som help making an easier way to do this, rather than starting the
program everytime and choosing the folder, destination, backup type and so
forth...

I know that it is possible to configure the program so that this is done at
system startup or at certain time, but I most of all wish that I could just
click an Icon at the desktop and see this process be done.

This shold be possible since it is the same parameters every time...

Any tips will be deeply appreciated!
 
I would suggest investing in a good external backup drive
which will protect your data in the event of a hard drive failure
or system corruption.

Examples:
