• Looking for autobackup software
    4 replies, posted
I have another pc that is doing nothing so I decided to turn it into a backup server. What I need is a software that would scan both my main pc and server's drives and then upload changed files to the backup server.
Sounds like you want an automated incremental backup. This page has step by step instructions, just ignore the part on creating a repair disk (unless you want one). The instructions on how to configure the backups as incremental are on the 2nd page. [url]http://www.brighthub.com/computing/windows-platform/articles/53645.aspx[/url]

I need my files to be accessible from windows explorer, otherwise it loses most of it's points. I need something like svn that updates only changed files but not svn.
If you're looking for 3rd party software you might want to try out Create Synchronicity - [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/synchronicity/[/url] Easy to setup, supports incremental backup and scheduling.

Damn
