Hi all. I have just bought a Maxtor 500 GB hard disk drive for backing up information but it did not come with any backup software. I want to regularly backup my documents folder and possibly Outlook Express email. I know I can do this manually but I wondered if there was any inexpensive or free alternatives? Can I set up windows scheduler to do this? I have twice as much space on the 500 gb disk as I do on my PC so I thought about not bothering to compress the backup so I could access files individually if necessary. any advice much appreciated. regards Graham Graham Page Home Phone: 0207 265 9493 Mobile: 07753 607980 Fax: 0870 706 2773 Email: gpage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: gabriel_mcbird@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: gabriel_mcbird ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
