I'm looking for an efficient way to back-up my files onto my external HDD, but don't really like Windows XP backup utility, because (i think) it creates a .bkf file which I will then need to restore in order to get the files.
I also use my external HDD to copy files to my laptop or to another PC, so therefore I would prefer the files to be in a standard windows file format, i.e. files stored as they are (jpg, mp3, etc.)
Now I'm doing the drag and drop manually, which still works QUITE ok since I don't take huge amounts of photos. But I'm looking for a better way of course. Any suggestions?
Something where I can choose to back-up a specific folder; the software then compares the folder on the source and destination, and only adds the files which have not already been copied. That would be ideal I think.
