Curious if anyone can help me with this. I had some good family friends of mine buy a nice little FreeAgent HDD and showed them how to back up their computer using the Seagate manager software and though it was really basic, I was surprised at how easy and fast it works to backup selected data and then only backup changed or newly added data on the next backup.

I have a eSATA drive that i've been doing the good old classic "Click and drag" backup method, but this requires time and effort on my part, and it would be nice to have software like the Freeagent where I just start it up and it backs up pre-selected folders and only gets updated or newly added files

Sadly, I tried to download Freeagent on my computer but it wouldn't reconize my eSTATA drive, or via USB.

Anyone have any suggestions for some software like this?

Selective incremental backup but I'm not familiar with any freebies.

I think I've seen some suggested by others and hopefully someone will come along and be better help than I.
 
I've been using the free version of Crashplan - it does once a day incrementals with multiple versions with good compression, and has a pretty awesome restore UI.

Hmm, that looks like it has some time and money put into it, i'll try that

EDIT: Hmm its pretty close to what I want. Any way to turn off the stupid auto backup? I only wanna run backups when im ready
