Ok, I suffered a major data loss in early July of this year, lossing gigs and gigs worth of precious and irreplacable data that I didn't get a recent external HDD backup of because I was to fucking lazy. Afterwards, I vowed that it would never happen again.
After using the FreeAgent software that I was helping install on a good friends of my machine and external HDD, I very much liked how the software was quick and simple to use. I very much liked the fact that the software did incremental backups of certain data, so unless new things were added or updated, it didn't try to copy EVERYTHING all over again, saving time.
Right now i've been using a NexStar with a 320gig seagate using eSATA to backup my stuff, but I have to click and drag everything manually that I want, and its the major reason why I don't know backups often enough, its just pain and a waste of time. I want the software to be setup my way, selected on which folders and files I want and then it just copies and updates files that need to be from the previous backup. All done in a few short clicks.
That being said, any software out their that's not outrageously priced that will do this?
