Free backup software, discussion and general information overload

Discussion area closed for now!

Sorry, our discussion forums were old clunky VBulletin code which was impossible to keep updated with modern security. We has to shut them down to avoid massive spam attacks. We'll put together a Drupal based forum and pull over the discussion data as soon as possible. In the meantime, we'll try to provide support via the contact page. Thanks for your patience.

Let's just face the music: Data Backup is a Pain!

Someday, your operating system will automatically backup your data to a secure remote data-center deep below the Himalayas. But right now, you're simply on your own. Backup software is like antivirus software -- we wish it wasn't necessary but it is. Well, the good news is that backup may be a chore but it no longer has to be expensive.

But Backup Doesn't have to be Expensive.

Check out our great selection of freeware including this backup solution tutorial (http://free-backup.info/backup-solution.html) -- which is a great place to get started securing your data. This basic backup tutorial will provide you with a workable data organization and backup plan adequate for your home network or small office.

Three quick tips for using freeware backup effectively.

1. Backup to a second drive. NOT a second partition on the same drive!! Data loss is very often caused by disk failure. This alone will dramatically increase your data security.
2. Shut down Outlook at night. Backup software often cannot access Outlook database files while the program is running. Shut it down at night so that your email can be safely archived while you sleep. (This is not necessary if you have "File Access Manager")
3. Archive backup data to DVD periodically. Write your entire backup archive to DVD or DVD-RW every week or two and store the disk at a remote location. You'll thank me later!

More Feedback » Respected Mr. CHAD, I am a blind person and I was AMAZED by the Speed and the EASINESS of "JUSTZIPIT". Your software is a real time saver and so EASY to use. I mean just a right click. I am REALLY THANKFUL to you for this FREEWARE. - SUNIT. Freeware is great, but you guys take it to the limit! Thanks for great software. I wish I had tried your offerings before buying the "brand name full-featured" backup software, and wasting many hours trying to get it to work properly, without success. Back2zip worked right the first time, is totally intuitive, and has worked flawlessly since. Fantastic! - Stu Denny Thank you, thank you, thank you for JustZIPit! It has always seemed so absurd to me that file compression utilities have been getting more and more complex - and costly! - Jeff B. More Feedback » I would like to thank you for this great utility, I am really enamoured by its simplicity, ease of use and user friendliness, really fantastic. I tried PKZIP and WINZIP, the complexity of those programs for simple tasks zips my mind up. - Joaquim Dias In my many years of working with computers, I've dealt with at least a dozen ZIP programs. In all that time, I've never found as practical a ZIP program as JustZipIt. I have no doubt that it is superior to anything else available - and yet it's free! Many thanks for this magnificent program. - Shmuel Himelstein Back2zip Rocks! It is by far the best... I have come across. - Jake S. I have been taking Back2Zip on a test ride for the last few days and I find it a wonderfully simple and reliable program. I am really impressed by what it does and how it does it. Thank you, - Elmer H. Seale More Feedback »
