  1. Advice for free backup software with incremental backup capability?


    I've tried Easeus, AOMEI, and a few others, but can't figure out how to do an incremental backup.

    Basically I'd like to either backup my Disk or just the files and folders on my C:/ drive, and have the ability to do an incremental backup every week or so.

    Easeus says free version includes incremental or differential backup, but I don't seem to be able to access that. Instead I'd need to delete the backup completely, and start from scratch every week.

    I'd love some advice. Thanks!

    Best software for windows 10 incremental backups and very first backup?

    Must you buy third-party backup software to make incremental backups? No, you can use Windows' own utility. But once you've seen how capable and convenient third-party software is ... well, I'll leave it up to you.

    Advice for free backup software with incremental backup capability?

    in need of sophisticated backup software


    Hi,
    I am looking for an incremental backup software that can burn to disk. It is important that, after a full backup, it can detect new or changed files and only select those for the backup to optical disk (due to the fact that I am currently wasting a lot of disks doing full backups every time and if I could do incremental backups it would save a lot of money and disks, although manually determining the differences would be too time consuming, due to having several hundred thousand files in a complex folder structure), in addition to maintaining the folder structure.
    Are there any suggestions as to where to begin for such a piece of software?
    Thanks

    EDIT: discounted software
    Pipemetrics Bvckup 2 (no optical media backup capability)
    Easeus ToDo backup (no optical media backup capability)

    software to test:
    AOMEI backupper (lacks merge capabilities)
    AOMEI backupper Pro
