Selecting Windows Backup Software
- by Paul Stevens
If you are currently in the process of selecting Windows backup software for your computer, you might be perplexed by all the different types of computer backup products that are available out there. It can help to first consider what your actual computer needs are before you choose the backup package that you wish to purchase.
Generally, any backup software program is going to have the ability to fully backup your PC. Whatever files and folders you choose will get backed up during the process. The first thing you need to do is perform a complete and full backup of all your data before you will be able to perform incremental backups as the next step. Once you have one full backup, you will simply be incrementally backing up any files that have been changed going forward. Most backup packages allow you to create a schedule for automatic backups, in addition to doing a backup manually. In fact, some packages even backup files very soon after they have been edited, so that you have continuous data protection and don't ever lose any data.
You might also want to look for software that provides the ability to perform block level backups. In this case, instead of the entire file, only the altered parts of a file are backed up. This can save a lot of time, since these types of backups are carried out much more quickly.
Disaster recovery is also an important thing to consider. If you create a backup for the purpose of disaster recovery, you will not only have your files, but also everything else that was on your computer. If you ever need to recover from a computer disaster, for example when a hard drive crashes, you will be up and running again quickly, due to the fact that you will have your Windows operating system, plus all of your programs and their settings, saved together with your files on the backup.
Media spanning is also a handy feature to be included in backup software. If you have to spread out your backup across a number of smaller backup drives, or wish to use CDs or DVDs, you will need media spanning. If you keep your backups in off-site storage locations, you will likely need this feature.
When selecting backup software, there are also a few other things you should take into consideration to make sure you get a package suited for your specific needs. For example, make sure it supports the backup media you plan to use, in addition to a variety of other kinds of media. You also must make sure that whatever Windows operating system you use is supported by the software.
