Windows 10: Free file backup software

I've never had anything extra installed along with FreeFileSync. I am always careful to look at which EULA I am accepting and always pick custom install when presented with the option.

 

I'm using Easeus todo backup free. The best about it is to automatically delete old images so that the hard drive would not be filled up.

 

Same here. I have been using FreeFileSync for years without problem *Smile
The Menu > Help > View Help file is very informative, here are some suggestions:

Create a Batch Job
Set up the sync as you like then create a batch job via Menu > File > Save as batch job...
Put the resulting icon somewhere handy and simply double click to start. If it's a big sync you can schedule it to run through the Windows Task Scheduler but I find it easy to double click then go make coffee or have dinner or whatever

Variable Drive Letters
This is good for when Windows decides to change your drive letter, your backup will still work because it looks for the drive name not letter. This is recommended if you create Batch Jobs.

If you travel and change time zones then you should read Daylight Saving Time in the Help file.
Basically, you should have your backup drive formatted to NTFS so the time the file was modified will always appear correctly. If your backup drive is formatted to say FAT32 then when you change the timezone on your computer FreeFileSync will read that every file on the backup drive needs to be updated

 

FYI, Free version of AOMEI Backupper does support Files/Folders backup.

Couldn't help but see on your Desktop screen "Registry Workshop" 1st person I've seen on here that uses it, besides me. I bought that years ago, and it still works GREAT!! *Smile

 

The screen shot is from my Customized Windows PE (Same as what KYHI has done his) but I put my own tools including the native Windows Recovery, my favorite browser FF. Registry Workshop is way, way better than Windows built in Regedit.exe and that's the only thing I use when dealing with Registry.

 

I have a copy too. IMO RW is the best registry editing tool there is.

 

I feel the same way, as its the only program I use for editing my registry. *Smile

So that's your Windows PE screen, VERY NICE!!! I LOVE yours, someday, I'll have to ask you how I could do something similar to mine, I am using Kyhi's PE app right now, which is very good, but I would love to learn how to customize one like you did.

 

Vice Versa is not free, but I have liked using it for years. I simply use it to create and update a replica of all my data on a 2nd hard drive. It only updates the files/folders that have changed since the last run.
